How is Airbyte optimized for building new integrations? Can you explain or point to article on that, i'm curious :)

we keep on improving the experience (priority #1 :) ). Would love to get your feedback there!

Here are some articles: https://docs.airbyte.io/tutorials/building-a-python-source https://docs.airbyte.io/tutorials/toy-connector https://docs.airbyte.io/integrations/custom-connectors

Step one: join YC. Step two raise seed. Seriously, this deck would likely not have flown without the YC backing and implicit stamp of approval, once you are in YC you'd have to do pretty bad not to raise seed funding.

I wonder if there is any YC company that failed to even raise Seed Round.

About a third of the batch is unable to complete their round every demo day season.

It's actually a good question. They say 1/3 of the batch should raise easily, 1/3 less easily, 1/3 will struggle.

It's also with which fund you are raising. There are many funds for sure, but raising with the top tier VCs is definitely not 1/3 or even 1/10 of the batch.

Anyways, hopefully, this article was useful to you :).

Having worked with Fivetran, Segment and Singer in the past I am really excited for an opensource solution like what you guys have developed. The long tail of connectors has been a real hassle when you work with mostly small companies who use very specific SaaS products. Wish you guys best of luck

Thanks!

Awesome, thanks! Don't hesitate to join our Slack - https://slack.airbyte.io - (800+ members). We only have this public Slack workspace for the team, so the whole team is there and is pretty responsive!

You need a graph of Slack channel adoption... lol. (The Github stars graph made me think of it! Congrats on the funding/product. Looks great!)

Indeed. We'll add it for the next round ;)
