    Wow. Hugely embarrassed for Amazon. Might be par for the course, but good luck getting entrepreneurs to trust you again. The valley is small.

      Agreed. I don’t like the attitude that all things legal are fair under capitalism. This practice probably shouldn’t be illegal, but it definitely should be punished by startups being less willing to meet with Amazon.

  • Well, idea is dime a dozen, and most startup fail. There are always multiple startup on the same idea all the time. I'd Amazon won't bite you can always find another VC.

      Agreed, its not like their idea was something no one in the field could come up with. I doubt that the meeting made the executives to invest in the service.

    Amazon did not get to where it is now by being completely ethical in its dealings. They do a lot of things that raise eyebrows and border on illegal but unfortunately that seems to be the way to build a successful business nowadays.

  • How is this news. I thought they were doing it for years with their Amazon Basics stuff.

  • Of course not ethical but businesses doesn't have to be ethical. If it did amzn would still be a bookstore.
