- capableweb 5y agoNo, I don't think you can put Substack in that same bucket. Substack has raised a total of $82.4M in funding over 4 rounds. Their latest funding was raised on Mar 31, 2021 from a Series B round. Their investors are gonna want to get that money back, and how do you think that'll happen? Substack is aiming to scale way beyond SA ever had the ambition to, and probably dreaming about ending up like Twitter, Facebook et al.
- nefitty 5y agoI think they meant that Substack is about giving people the tools to do the niche stuff. It's not doing niche stuff itself.
- syshum 5y agoVenture Capital is where good idea's go to die.... Substack is a good idea, but venture capital will ensure they devolve into another Twitter, Facebook, etc... which is not good....
- FranksTV 5y agoSubstack is trying to be a platform to let people build those kinds of businesses, the way Shopify let's any retailer build an online store.
