Michael Brawer just made a bold move — launching his own independent private credit ratings platform to compete directly with his former organization and other players dominating the $1.7 trillion credit market. It's a classic David vs. Goliath setup: leveraging insider expertise to disrupt an established industry. The question now? Can he carve out meaningful market share in a space traditionally controlled by entrenched firms? The private credit market's explosive growth certainly suggests there's room for fresh competition and alternative rating models.

This guy really dares to do it, running counter to the boss's business... But with a $1.7T market cap, the rapidly growing private equity credit market probably needs fresh blood.

Wow, this guy directly turned against us, going from an insider to a troublemaker. Does he really dare?

Hmm... Insiders rebelling, I've seen this routine too many times in crypto. The key is whether they can really come up with something differentiated.

Bro, do you think this can work? It still depends on whether the market is willing to buy in.

The insider defecting to establish their own faction—I've seen this trick many times in crypto. But with a market cap of 1.7 trillion, can it really snatch some of the pie from the giants' mouths? It's a bit doubtful.

ngl, this guy really has guts, directly going against his former employer... but on the other hand, the 1.7 trillion market cap is indeed tempting, let's see if he can really move the market.

Another story of quitting a job to start a business, but this time the bet seems a bit big.
