I find this debate interesting, but I can see this argument being used by both sides. Is your point that you don’t foresee external issues by buying like the supplier going under/the product becoming unmaintained or that you don’t foresee internal issues by building like some critical security oversight?

It's an interesting discussion, for sure. I'm on the buy side right now, because it's an accounting solution, and I'm scared we don't know enough to build a competing product in a regulated space. We're more legaltech than fintech, so it feels like we'd be committing resources to the wrong place.
