We’re building software for data-driven procurement and sourcing, and it’s getting more difficult RN too.

#7Two startups I know are rising at the moment, both are doing well, but they are not based in the US and they do not aim to rise billions, their tech teams are lean and they are scaling on sales and marketing.

Currently doing it for an open-source metrics observability and troubleshooting tool (15 PoC in production, no revenues yet). Committed about 30% of the amount so far, but it's tough and expectations seems ever increasing (revenues, community traction etc). Curious to hear others experience as well!
