You get a time advantage for doing this strategy, but your talent will be pouched and your competitors will be able to catch up fairly quickly.

I used to think this but it only seems to be true for a shallow tech advantage, which isn’t this scenario. A sufficiently deep stack of compounded tech is robust against even aggressive talent poaching. The knowledge is embedded in the network, not the random individual.

We see this in jet engines, silicon fab, et al.
