"VCware" is a nice succinct term to use, I hope it catches on in the wider tech/power user scene and the first comment about any launch is whether it's "vcware". Of course it will be a bit awkward here on HN due to somewhat obvious reasons but hopefully elsewhere the term becomes used.
I think one thing that royally pisses me off even more then an initial VC backed launch is a seemingly stable, premium product going from "user-supported" to accepting VC funds (eg: Bitwarden). Just the absolute worst. Now I know I have to deal with this migration away for the whole family at some point in my (probably near) future.

- rkangel 3y agoI didn't realise Bitwarden had taken VC. That's sad. I'm not going to transition away immediately, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it.
