To Raise VC, or Not. Choosing The Road Less Travelled.

calendar_today February 2, 2022 person domain typesense

Over the last 18 months, we’ve had conversations with over two dozen VC firms who cold-reached out to us. We’ve also had conversations with about a dozen customers and friends who expressed interest in investing in us (including my physician when he found out that I worked on Typesense)!

To everyone who has reached out to us about investing in Typesense, I really appreciate your support. While some of these conversations almost convinced us that we should be raising funds, after a lot of soul-searching between Kishore and myself, our current state of mind is that we want to build a business around Typesense that’s primarily funded by customer revenue, rather than external capital.
