I think this is a little bit of rewriting history. Reddit in the beginning was always fairly niche. Primarily for early adopters and tech focused. They were getting beaten by Digg, Fark, Slashdot, Twitter, Facebook etc. They sold to Conde Nast. I don't know if they could have raised a series A at the time. Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian created and sold Reddit in 16 months.
