We like their model indeed!

So if I understand well, approach 1 is mindshare. Approach 2 is sales team, and approach 3 is bottom-up but self-serve. So definitely approach 1. Will be focusing on the open-source edition for the next year or more. Doing that will help us

Interesting! thanks :)

Sure, it does help. I think timeboxing the fundraise gives some FOMO to investors, if they know that you're meeting with a lot of other ones. There are many things to it. But the team does help for sure!

Lol! It seems HN rewrote the title. The initial title was "How Airbyte raised $5M with Accel in 13 days (deck included)" I didn't know they renamed titles.

We're a pretty transparent company, so we published our strategy and future business model. You can find it here: https://docs.airbyte.io/company-handbook/business-model Let me know if you have any questions on i

Ah ah! We liked this diagram, because it explained how the product works. Also, we already used our own infographic on the cover page ( https://airbyte.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Airbyte-Seed-D... ), so

There are 3 ways we got connections: 1) We did have some intros thanks to being a YC company. That definitely helped. 2) For some funds for which we really wanted intros, we asked our investors. 3) We timed these 2 weeks of fundraising to h

So within 2 weeks, we met with 45 investors (76 calls in 7 days, that's our record ;) ). Our goal was to identify the 10 VCs that understood the best our vision and industry and that could bring the most value. On those investors, you

Very true. We're thinking about offering some kind of volume-based for small companies but with a limit that we won't go over. There are some solutions and we will try to offer the pricing the most adapted to the needs of our user

Yes, indeed, we do. This should come within the next 3 months. Here's the issue if you want to keep track of our progress on the matter: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/768

Yes, we'll definitely be looking at having an Amplitude source connector, the issue is already here: http://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/1457

Yes we do. You can check our connectors here: https://docs.airbyte.io/integrations

by jeanlaf 6y ago
The pricing depends on the number of connectors you need (but not the volume of data), the features you use, and the SLA. We already saw that there was a great willingness to pay, so we’re not really worried about that part. We will learn a

Sure! Those are actually great questions! Regarding monetization, you can see more details here: https://airbyte.io/pricing We consider 2 monetization approaches: Open core (connectors staying open-source forever) with prem

This is something we will definitely offer as well, with an SLA. And because the maintenance is not only done by us, but the community as well, fixes will be propagated throughout all users much faster than if it has to go through customer

In all honesty, in that particular case, we'd honestly think about merging it. If that happens, we're facing 2 options. Either we merge it, and at that point the real business model for our business is about hosting, management, s

(Airbyte engineer) Agreed. Thanks for notifying us about that. We fixed it. We started by supporting only full refresh at the very start, as it was easier to support more connectors, but have been ramping up incremental across all the sour
