๐Ÿ”— Other stuff to know

  • Boot.dev was originally a side project, but we’re now a full-time team of 2. We’re looking for the 3rd member of our team.
  • We raised $330,000 dollars from an angel investor, but are now profitable.
  • Most of that money is still in the bank and we don’t have plans to raise more money. We want to grow responsibly and build a sustainable business that provides value to our students.
  • We like to play. We play video games, magic the gathering, eat together when possible and even take trips together when we hit our goals.
  • We don’t have plans to quickly sell the company or go public. It could happen, but it’s more likely that we’ll distribute profits to the team and investors.
