An interesting argument from Om Malik that the Figma deal being blocked by EU regulators continues a trend where regulators on both sides of the ocean are now unfriendly to big tech buying successful startups.

Om argues this will change the dynamics of startup funding if an acquisition by FAAMNG is eliminated as an option for successful startups.

I expect this will add to the pressure on founders to aim for sustainable businesses caused by high interest rates.
