## Quote — verbatim

> Once providers are profitable, that is something that can be used to attract other providers... that'll massively grow the provider base. Once we have 300 to 500 providers, that is significantly higher geo presence than let's say an Amazon.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

AMA answer on attracting big web2 companies: PMF and provider profitability first (~30 providers at the time), then distribution, "cost being 90% lower," and "world's first open cloud" as the USP.
