I like to root for the home team (tech entrepreneurs like my former self getting paid out for taking a risk makes me happy)
M&A activity is a positive sign for the economy. Stripe wouldn’t be buying companies if they thought the economy was about to fall off a cliff, and Stripe is full of smart people (disclosure: I am a former Stripe).
If there were no acquisitions happening, starting (another) company would be much tougher to justify to my wife and my self.
