alt Hacker Newsunless the startup has gobs of free money how can they do this against an incumbent? note: nobody has gobs of free money anymore, except the incumbents.

It's the latter for us. We have healthy margins even at this price point. So we don't actually need a lot of money to do this against incumbents.
