They have exclusive possession or control of supply of these types of chips. I'm not sure if the question of whether or not they could sell or want to sell it comes into question. Lets say I buy up all the supplies of diamonds and exclude the use of diamonds in any other use than my jewelry. I believe this still falls under a monopoly
Text is too often misconstrued and again emoj's don't solve this problem. The fact that emoji speak even exists is really odd to me, but I guess thats an "ok boomer" for me.
We live largely on zoom these days, and less and less people have their cameras on and they are more like voice calls. I really don't see the difference between this and a phone call
>Most of Google's users weren't using search engines when Google was created.
I really don't know about your assessment about Facebook but I'd fundamentally disagree, as in the beginning they were capturing the college aged to young professionals. I'd say they fundamentally grew off the back of MySpace users. Myspace was huge and everyone had a page at the time.
Google was a little different as they did help to define and create this space of web indexing, as a lot of early search pages were more directories and portals.
A company that creates a better search engine, will easily take over search. Next gen of search will be better at providing more relevant / less spam
Youtube does have some network effect and high costs but not enough to stop anyone from competing and vc money evens out the costs. Next gen in video may offer more features, or for a completely different platform like VR
The only platform I do see them having a strong ability to block out potential competition would be mobile and Android.
Do you have any approximate numbers as to how many users they are expecting ?
I think you need to evaluate these numbers before you can negotiate. Obviously you want to keep this deal, but you're going to need to bring in revenue to scale.. so keeping in some type cost per seat is ideal. It is a good strategic investment opportunity and for a seed round, its definitely not bad.
These are the plugins I love so far. I guess it depends on which printer you have but these are all amazing for my uses.
Digital art, videos, etc.. make sense. Its about exclusivity and uniquness. I can write fizzbuzz, thousands of different ways and differences are minimal. Once I get a glance at how you write fizz buzz, I can copy it with minimal changes. Exclusivity of code is not worth anything.
