Not too scary when you're funded by YC and Sequoia
- davidu 16y agoJamie -- I look forward to coming back to this comment in 12 months and seeing what the world looks like for Greplin. I think they are awesome, but the world will have to get more silo'd before it can be more open -- hopefully greplin isn't the victim in that process. :-)
- jamiequint 16y agoI agree with that, but I also don't really see the current incarnation of Greplin as a threat to any open vs. closed battle the big players want to fight.

It’s very important to us to maintain very good relationships with a lot of these companies because we have a higher than average volume of requests that we have to make to them. And finally, we thought Sequoia was the best place to go for this because they’ve had their hand in or know someone at almost every interesting tech company in the world, and that network is super important to us."
