Congrats! It's very encouraging to see video tech with a solid customer base, and good investor support.

Which factors do you think contributed most to your success? Was YC helpful in opening doors for you? How important is the right kind of investor?



Thanks!

For us it was really important to find people that help us along the way, and that definitely includes all our investors, as well as Ycombinator. We're engineers and we definitely learned so much about building a product and a go to market strategy during our time at YCombinator. Having a technology alone is often not enough.

We also raised money form some silicon valley veterans and angels, and I use them as a resource for advice and expertise. One of the was the first CTO of Cisco for example, and I always learn so much in talking with him. Pretty cool to see how one can apply things from those companies also today.

But most importantly, it's the team. you need a great to come to this point, otherwise you struggle quite early. I'm really proud to work with our folks, they really do all the work.


Thank you for the tips - and best of luck to you guys!
