Team and Investors
We are a remote-first, 50+ person, fully distributed team spread out across the US and the world, that will double in the coming year. We went through Y Combinator in 2018 and have raised $47M in funding to date from leading investors including Addition, Google Ventures, General Catalyst, Box Group, and Javelin Venture Partners. We are a tiny spaceship exploring a vast, unknown cosmos. Grab a seat, we’re about to blast off.
