"We use Ruby on Rails, we are in the ecommerce space, and we are profitable. That seems to make us a Perfect 10 in the VC world."
-- When did Ruby on Rails become a driving factor for a VC?
- xal 16y agoAlmost from day one. This has probably changed now but don't forget, Shopify is one of the biggest Ruby on Rails sites on the web and I've been part of the Rails Core team since it's inception (until recently). Rails stood for something new, it was a paradigm shift of sorts. That's what every VC in the world looks for. The VCs who correctly predict which technologies fuel innovations always do very well. See Peter Fenton of Benchmark to illustrate the point at hand.
