This seems like a great idea and I’m glad to see you working on it!
Just curious, of all the ways you might get this off the ground, what tipped the scales in favor of VC funding? Personally, it’s hard for me to imagine this becoming a Reddit-sized operation (perhaps I lack imagination) and really easy to imagine your funders pushing you to pivot when you’re not growing 10X YoY or whatever.
Did you think about incorporating as a non-profit?
Thanks so much! We grew like crazy last year (over 400%). Do I think we can do the same this year, not sure, but definitely 100 times again this year and 100 times again next year.
The company is only as big as the need for employing great devs worldwide. We may not be a consumer known product, but we hope to help lots of companies and devs for many years to come! Also, we've been very careful to not give up control so the company would never be forced into pivoting against our mission!
