Wow, literally out of words to appreciate for summing up the status of life. I've rarely read long comments at least in recent times, but this was totally worth it. Thanks!

`Business plans offer zero data retention. This is a non-issue.` - Not all, I checked Anthropic has a min 30 day data retention policy for Enterprise Plan.

founding team at Backpack(yc) here! we solved this by starting with demand.

get real orders first, then solve fulfillment. if we had no traveler that matched the route/timing, one of us would literally take the flight.

not scalable, but early on that’s not really the problem.

one of the thing that matters in this model: traveler supply has a different clock than demand. people usually know their trips weeks ahead, so having them in the funnel helps. but I still wouldn’t wait for perfect supply coverage before testing whether senders are really there.

in the early days, you’re not really a marketplace. you’re just making the service work by hand.

happy to chat if useful.

On a separate note, if I wanna file a compliant against a couple other fintechs regarding serious violations, how would I be rewarded? Do you have more clarity? Would appreciate some help!
