@kepano Love more "startups" being more customer-first (not investor-first) and self sustainable.

I have worked with VC funded startups before, they're great, can move super fast. But from an user's perspective the uncertainty of the company's and the product's future. Because VC funded startups goal is to make as much money for the VC fund (-> investors), they need to aim really high and take a lot of risks, leading to a high fail rate. Not particularly to create a great product for the users that they can rely for long.

For this reason I wouldn't personally want to go with a VC funded startup for a core/must-have important services like email, drive, documents, etc.
