But like most banks their cards ran on networks they did not own. Visa and Mastercard control the payment rails. They are the infrastructure layer.

That vertical integration lets Amex keep more economics and control the full stack. Capital One did"

"Yes they should IPO sooner but their business models sadly arent fully baked yet and theyre losing too much money. 1) Anthropic losing $15B and OAi around $30B a year would get destroyed by analysts 2) private capital is cheaper and more forgiving - quarterly earnings would inhibit innovation and risk 3) this is a systemic startup VC problem over the last decade bc of [--] and [--] that time to liquidity is longer. VCs now need to stuff them with as much capital as they can 4) being public is really tough - you should know that better than most as one of the greatest comeback stocks of all time."
