We’ve raised $17M to build what comes after Git

GitButler has raised a Series A round to accelerate developing the infrastructure for how software gets built next

Butler's Log

I feel like I really need to learn how to raise money. For $17M, one could probably build a vacuum robot prototype that’ll also clean up all of the kids toys and sort LEGO bricks by colour and size. Parents worldwide would love it.

But instead, we get a replacement for Git. And I didn’t even bother to click the link because I’m fine with how Git works. On the list of pain points in my life, “what comes after Git” has roughly the same priority as “try out a more exciting shower gel”. But did you ever step on a LEGO brick while walking to the bathroom at night? That pain is immediately obvious.

Why is nobody solving actual problems anymore?

granted how much did Linus spend on Git? probably well south of $17M and he's not beholden to the likes of a16z
