- peterisdirsa 2y agoWhy "was"?
- statictype 2y agoOptimizely also sold to private equity many years ago. Presumably the founderts aren't there any more.
- paraschopra 2y agoDan, thank you! I has been fun competing with you. I remember the golden days :) I've been following your journey post Optimizely! Hope your new ventures turn out to be equally fun and fulfilling.
- murukesh_s 2y agoI think it was a time when bootstrapping was a thing.. I feel its scary for new startups to bootstrap since the last decade with huge fundings, especially with funding in billions becoming a normal with the ongoing AI craze. https://news.crunchbase.com/ai/largest-ai-startup-funding-deals-2024 https://news.crunchbase.com/ai/largest-ai-startup-funding-de...
- abhimanyue1998 2y agoAI inference is expensive, hence, funding is needed. In future, when AI infra becomes cheaper, we will see more bootstrapped AI startups too.
- waonderer 2y agoI think that's more skewed towards the AI startups. Other startups have rather seen a dip in recent times, at least in India.
- sskates 2y agoCongrats to you both!! Paras- you guys were always one of the ones we looked up to when starting Amplitude way back in 2012.
- paraschopra 2y agoThanks Spencer! You've built an amazing product, we're hugely inspired by Amplitude.
- throwaway638637 2y agoOptimizely as in Episerver?? I thought Optimizely was Episerver's rebrand.
- jeroen 2y agoEpiserver bought Optimizely and then took the name.
- throwaway638637 2y agoOh what a strange decision. But that makes more sense than yhe reverse.
