Blockstream's eleven (!) founders include the majority of Bitcoin's core developers—they're also the ones pushing most fervently for a fork of the Bitcoin protocol. Is there anything to be worried about here? (That is, besides the perplexing nature of a startup raising a $21 million “seed round” for its multitudinous founders to develop an entirely new and unproven technology stack.)
No if you mean people with commit bit, we have just two of the five active developers. The community of Bitcoin developers is much larger though and we come no where near a majority.
