Comment nous avons construit une entreprise dans la Silicon Valley

Salut Habr,

Dans cet article, je vais partager comment nous avons construit une entreprise dans la Silicon Valley. En quatre ans, nous sommes passés d'une startup de deux personnes au sous-sol d'un immeuble à San Francisco à une grande entreprise reconnaissable avec des investissements de plus de 30 millions de dollars provenant de fonds bien connus, y compris des géants comme a16z.
