How a company is really doing is often disconnected from the press. I know people in companies that appear to be doing fabulously on the outside, but internally are horrible places to work. There's two sides to every story. A lot of startup news articles are written after the writer has a Skype call with a founder / exec, so you're only reading what the founders choose to reveal (ie. only the positive stuff). > I also detest self promotion and so I have not announced the fundraise. Don't think of it as self promotion. It's company promotion. Announcing funding can be particularly helpful if you're hiring.
