They didn’t get “paid”. They raised money from investors, which likely means they’re giving said investors a percentage of their business. And that money is to help build their product and bring it from proof of concept to market.

LinkedIn x Hinge x ChatGPT, get in and get out quick brehs, the cacs over on HN will quicky turn your feature into a product.

for the brehs that dont know, that was said to the founder of dropbox when they pitched to steve jobs, once dropbox started making money Apple came out with iCloud and dropbox has been in the game but an afterthought.

im sure they have a plan and im not tryin to be a debbie downer but they've really got to move quick. the investors on those boards arent going to waste time incorporating these same things into their SaaS products. Crunchbase and HubSpot are, i would imagine, itching to incorporate this feature into their products, they just cant legally yet, but if they purchase series...

Hopefully their goal is to sell quickly.

No, they got paid. Their salary is included on traditional venture seed, series a , and series b money.
