> I know this is (was) downvoted a lot, but I understand this sentiment. If you read the comments above, it’s a “sky is falling” situation for many startups in the Silicon Valley sphere of influence.

From most accounts it seems to be a very tight ecosystem with a lot of close relationships between VCs, service providers, and serial founders. Very easy to see how it could develop high-impact dependencies that are very close to single points of failure.
