They gave me millions of dollars to spend on salaries for engineers to work on open-source, and together we built Bun.
In return, all the VCs asked for was “make number go up”
We’re still MIT licensed & still shippingQuoting @jarredsumner: After the Series A, seemed like we’d only have the bandwidth to add & maintain a linter + formatter after growing the team by another -5 engineers - but being more than like 15 people with $0 in revenue and no progress on commercialization seemed crazy to me.
