    This is one of the best teams I know. It's telling that I know former students who have worked there for 4 years when their only office is in Mountain View and is 5 days a week in person... Greatness is a magnet

    Congrats @AppliedInt on raising $250MM at $6B today. I started TalkBin with Applied's founder @qasar over a decade ago and dug out this picture from when we raised $20K from @ycombinator in 2011. Hope $250MM feels just as good as the first $20K :) [image]
