Safak Erkol (Fintech PMM · PMA Ambassador) — Eric on financial gravity: 'the force no one controls but everyone obeys'

Safak Erkol — Fintech product-marketing lead, PMA Ambassador — publishes a substantive Startup Leap Day Zero recap (21 likes) six days after the event. Frames Eric's central claim as structural, not moral: 'It doesn't come from greed, or from companies getting old and tired. It comes from governance.' Notes the trap: 'Nobody sits in a meeting and votes to become extractive. Everyone makes a reasonable call, one quarter at a time. Till a pattern emerges.'

“There's a force that pulls organisations toward mediocrity. Eric calls it financial gravity, "the force no one controls but everyone obeys." It doesn't come from greed, or from companies getting old and tired. It comes from governance. Structural pressure, built into how a company is owned and who it answers to. … Nobody sits in a meeting and votes to become extractive. Everyone makes a reasonable call, one quarter at a time. Till a pattern emerges.” — Safak Erkol on LinkedIn
