Hi @albertgoeswoof, Mattermost CEO and co-founder here. To me, a Series A investment is about bringing on more supporters for the business. Redpoint led our round and they've also been investors in companies we admire: HashiCorp, Zendesk, and Twilio. I'm excited to have their help to deliver more value, more quickly to our users and customers. While I think it's possible to build a great company without significant outside funding (e.g. Valve), I think it's more rare, therefore higher risk.
