> their moat is distribution

It is trust.

Everyone in the valley knows Bret Taylor and will back any project he does, even if the product has no distribution.

The same way everyone in the valley knows Naval Ravikant for example, and Angels and VCs will back any project they he does even if his product he does has no distribution.
