Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Mach raises $170 million to take on Adobe and Shopify with a “more comprehensive platform”. Because what the world really needed was another all-in-one solution. Mach’s approach is “distinct” from its peers, which is code for “we’re rebranding the same ideas”.
