Only because in Q1 2018 they sold a bunch of their operations to Yandex and Grab for $3B. They effectively lost $2B.

I think it's opposite actually. 10 years ago, it was way easier to raise without any profitability story. Then a ton of VCs got burned, and Paul Graham wrote "Ramen Profitability" (2009), and later "Default Alive or Defa

Within the modern tech community, bootstrapping is definitely a budding minority. You can tell because a bunch of investment firms have recently popped up to try to capitalize on this new wave, like Earnest Capital. https://earne

But why wouldn't you just use MongoDB instead?

Hey Justin, thanks for writing the article! I agree with you that there was a failure of evaluation, and that MongoDB has matured quite a bit since the NoSQL explosion. Sorry if my comment came across as a criticism of your post. It was mor

What do you expect it to do differently in that case?

by a13n 8y ago
