I chose YC startups bc they tend to be locked into early technology trends specifically bc 1. everyone tries them out on each other and 2. they need to leverage every advantage to make great product, being a tech early adopter is one of them.
It's true, choosing boring tech works. I analyzed some data to show that most YC companies in the last few years prefer Webflow by far. They seem to prefer it for their marketing sites. But I do think that it's impressive that some people in this tech-obsessed niche chose WP still.
- lobochrome 3y agoNever heard of Webflow before. My god 11 years old. 335M$ funding. 600+ employees. Not public. How on earth would you make a call to rely on something like this? All the runway they might have had last summer will end soon…
- bnchrch 3y ago> Never heard of Webflow before. Have you been living under a rock? Not trying to be cheeky but its been the only tool brought up in the conversation of "what should we use for our marketing website" for the better part of 5 years. edit: Their pricing can become outrageous, Ive heard of some companies paying five figures a year for their Webflow CMS, for multiple years. So I dont think their last raise is the only money in that bank account
