It takes a while for the eco-system around TF to get settled. I feel Google wants companies to spring up around TF, and use it in every industry.

I'd say now is the time to start a niche company on top of TF. You'll be acquired faster than you can say "minimum viable product".

Makes sense. If you can make a viable product atop TensorFlow, then acqui-hiring you is probably a good bargain.
