top | item 46659617 (no title) scolvin | 1 month ago We have a SaaS platform (Pydantic Logfire - General and AI observability), and we raised our Series A from Sequoia.For good or bad, I think we're pretty "SaaS/vc/etc." already. discuss order hn newest saberience|1 month ago Yeah it seems a bit forced though. Like why go from an open source utility library for typing to take VC money and try to shoe-horn in an observability platform that no one was asking for?My prediction, not going to be a good investment. scolvin|1 month ago ROFL.I clearly didn't build pydantic "to take VC money" - I maintained Pydantic for 5 years before deciding to take VC money.I wanted to build logfire and I didn't want to compete with or restrict our open source, we so built logfire.Let's see on the investment; seems to be going pretty well so far.
