Are there other examples of an open-source community project taking on several million dollars in venture capital funding? It seems a bit odd to me.<p>I'm not sure I'm comfortable using a presumably open-source, free (beer and speech) tool knowing that the group behind it will have to find a way to monetize their users in order to justify the investment from VCs at some point down the road. Open-source developers should of course be able to be compensated for their work, and the project has to find a way to sustain itself (I work for a company whose main product is open-source so I know this better than most), but the venture capital model doesn't seem like a good fit with the interests of the community, in my opinion.<p>That said, Serverless is a great tool, and congrats on the 1.0. Thanks to the team for their hard work.
