I am curious what stats there are to support the argument that Okta is being squeezed by startups. Are there certain areas in their platform where a startup is taking significant market share? The rippling story is interesting - it makes sense to me that the same system that originates the identities could also manage their access, but there is also an argument for decoupling these. Thanks for sharing!

I think that rather than startups squeezing Okta, startups + incumbents in some of these other markets (IGA, PAM) are making it hard for Okta to stake its ground and expand.

Yes, the next acquisition WILL start with S and I predict Strikeplate.
