I recently had the pleasure of spending two weeks in SF for Tech Week and Disrupt. I got to meet a lot of incredibly bright people and had a lot of fun seeing the startup scene on the ground level. The one thing that I caught wind of was the amount of larping going on from within these 'prestigious' incubators.

So what are they doing?

Well, they basically all sell to each other and then post about it all over X and in their pitch decks flexing their ARR. I buy 30 seats of your SAAS at $25/seat and you buy 10 of my seats at $75/seat. Net result - we just got $9k+ of ARR. Nice!

I thought, hey everyone should have access this!

Put a credit card in with a spend limit, and do instant swaps of ARR from one business card to another (or many)

Anyways, curious what you all think of this activity or the other stuff that people don't really talk about in the startup world
