   Honestly great work on the format! You can easily skim through and understand all your points by looking just at the graphics.

   Indeed! You could use the CDK to build the data integration pipelines that your ETL solution doesn't support. Airbyte comes also with ~70 connectors. So if we already support the destination you want, you can only build the source conn

    In our case, we're disrupting a well-known industry. So only a non-educated investor would ask for the total addressable market, and the "why now". Both are pretty obvious if you know the industry. Having investors ask us abo

    Yup. Diversity is a big focus for us now. Unfortunately, you tend to look for your first employees in your own network, so people you know. Most of our team is also composed of backend/data engineers, and diversity is not easy there.

    It was more about showing the growth rate which was higher than all the other open-source projects related to data integration :)

    Raising money is not a success indicator at all. We agree. Having your first paying customer is typically a much more important one :).

    Actually, Airbyte is a pivot from a first product. And we struggled a lot to raise with the previous product, even though we were fresh out of YC. YC is an indicator but not enough by itself.

    Airbyte was a pivot from a 1st product. And we had a hard time raising with the 1st product. So vision / product / market opportunity are also really important.

    It's actually a good question. They say 1/3 of the batch should raise easily, 1/3 less easily, 1/3 will struggle. It's also with which fund you are raising. There are many funds for sure, but raising with the top ti
