Good question. It's a nested reference. I named the company Ockam as a tribute to a company that a mentor of mine built and ran in the 70's - 2000's. He named his company after Occam's Razor.
One good thing about data from Sequoia is that they handle payroll for a lot of companies. They know exactly what companies are paying each of their employees, so it's a really good data set from that perspective. It's not self-reported by employees, for example.
"Concordium aims to fund developers whose efforts are critical to the Rust project but who are not currently being paid to work on Rust full-time. The DevX Initiative takes its lead from examples set by Embark Studios, Discord, Fly.io and Ockam"
I'm curious what the recent data is on the success of YC companies - beyond raising large seed rounds. How are YC co's doing at the growth stage now, vs early batches.
"People realize that securing the transport isn't the same as securing the application, which often hops over multiple transports."
Exactly right. Application layer trust, with the transport and security layers abstracted away. This is important, since app developers typically can't control the transports from end to end, or at scale.
