Usually it's hard for a new startup to catch a company with a lead like Zoom has, but Zoom's links with China could give a competitor a toehold, and a toehold is all you need. So if you're thinking of starting a competitor, it might work.https://twitter.com/NAChristakis/status/1271030402086551553 …
If you do start a Zoom competitor though, make sure it's actually better. It's not enough simply not to be under the thumb of China.
Thanks to the coronavirus, there must be a *lot* of programmers out there now with ideas about how to make a better Zoom. Tip: start by making what you yourself want. Don't worry, there will be other people who want it too. And all you need is a toehold.
How this story ends: Zoom fixes the China problem and/or we learn to ignore it, as we do so many China problems. But in the meantime someone is encouraged enough by it that they overcome their fear of competing with Zoom, make something better, and win in the end because of that.
That’s where Pexip is lacking. It may be a better product with strong privacy features and Norwegian ownership but it isn’t simple enough to use.
@PexipInc Can be made extremely secure and at the same time, easy-to-use. We can give both of you free accounts. If you like? @gilldalslaaen @tomeriklia
It would have to be REALLY good though. Not necessarily 10X better. Same quality minus China plus better pricing might do the trick. We switched to zoom cause everything else sucks. And it needs to NOT be built on WebRTC.
Zoom leads because it's mostly frictionless. Their team removed friction by not caring about OS security, sandboxes or personal data. I don't think a contender will be able to reiterate this reckless strategy.
