My observation was Meteor development really slowed down when Galaxy was ramping up. That doesn't necessarily imply that investors forced anyone to do anything, but as an external observer it appeared that resources were substantially re-prioritized, whatever the reason could be. Maybe it wasn't the investors, but someone led that re-prioritization. Maybe there were things going on with Galaxy that required immediate attention, and the team only had so many engineers / devops / testers, etc. It could have been a lot of things.
