What commenters are saying
Commenters debated the valuation's justification. Some cited hype, team pedigree (ex-OpenAI founders), and $100M ARR as factors. Others questioned the moat, noting rapid replication and Canadian VC conservatism as contrasts. A few argued venture capital is a hits business and that investor access dynamics drive such rounds. Skeptics compared past overhyped AI startups, while supporters pointed to network effects and brand recognition as defensible.
