Right. It sounds like a fun thing to build. But i'd love to read an honest explanation from an investor of why they funded it.
Dark raised 3.5 million USD from eight funds, which is under half a million each; maybe that amount is so small that a VC will invest it just for fun?
- bin0 7y agoTrust me, getting VC money isn't magically easier at small scales. There's a reason most businesses die under-capitalized.
- mattbillenstein 7y agoIt's simple if you know people with deep pockets -- and there was this mantra of invest in the team for awhile; not sure if that's still really a thing.

- twic 7y agoRight, and Paul Biggar founded CircleCI before this, which has been pretty successful!
- trilila 7y agoin theory having an online code editor that makes deployments and handles the infrastructure for you sounds good and from this i can see the logical deduction that this platform would save costs and simplify processes. But they are most likely not technical and as such don’t understand that code is written the way it is due to the many variations between projects.
