Gm. Hey, Brett again!

Last month I told you about an email we’ve used to get founders in front of hundreds of investors so you can close your fundraise. We brought that email back last month and, thanks to so many of you signing up, we were able to make a bunch of intros.

So now we’re running it back. All you need to do is let us know if you’re raising and we’ll take care of the rest.

Founders - apply here to be included in that email.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

Epic Games is known for two things: developing Fortnite and suing Google and Apple over their app stores.

Fortnite is a huge W. The Apple lawsuit was a huge L. And the Google lawsuit…is a huge W.

To catch you up, Epic’s gripes with the big app stores are basically as follows:

As we mentioned before, that lawsuit didn’t go too well with Apple. However, things went better with the Google case because, frankly, the evidence was better:

All of that led to an Epic win (pun intended), and now they are seeking the freedom for developers to develop their own internal app stores and billing systems. Google, obviously, does not want that to happen, so they are appealing the ruling.

So, where we go from here really depends on how the appeal goes. However, one thing is clear: the winds of antitrust action are beginning to blow. The regulators are on the prowl, and wins by private companies like Epic are definitely not going to tame those winds.

It’ll be interesting to see how big tech responds.

Down, Not Out: Who will win the appeal is anybody’s guess.
