Doesn't seem like it — see VoidZero investors [0].

> Unfortunately for Bun, if they are forced to help Anthropic more than they can focus on OSS

Curious: is that speculation, or based on observation?

Im pretty sure Accel is also heavily invested Vercel.

Regarding the Bun comment, that is speculation on my part. I have no real horse in the race but Anthropic didn’t buy them for lols.

Indeed Accel is a long-term Vercel investor [0].

Not sure whether VoidZero and Vercel sharing the same investor has any sorts of implication.

Well, your original comment was about a war brewing between Vervel and Void0. If Accel has a stake in both, I don’t know that they really care. See the Laravel investment as well.

Accel sees the money in vendor lock-in and is so far willing to let these companies fund their open source endeavors and sell hosting as a means to an end. Im not sure we’ve seen the real end game here yet but with geopolitics raising the cost of energy a ton this year, perhaps some screws are going to begin being tightened as margins are reduced. At present, I think its too early to tell.
