Firebase raised $1.1 million. Although I don't know how open source it is.

Thanks

While I was fundraising, VCs told me that DHH could easily have raised a lot of money for Rails had he chosen to. I don't know for sure that that's true, but it certainly seems plausible given Meteor's experience.

Even though we chose a different path, I really admire what DHH did with Rails. We studied the original Rails screencast very carefully when were making the Meteor screencast.

Maybe. Good luck with Meteor. It's interesting to follow!

Not an apples to apples comparison, but Zend has raised a ton of money.

OK
