Love the modern take and long tail focus!

Do you think the paid features for enterprise use is enough to support a VC model? (How do you avoid this becoming Quora (which also had an enterprise proposed use case)?)

What was the decision process around taking this a VC route vs not?

Jude from Golden here. Yes, I believe we can have the top 50k companies of the world as paying clients and help power open knowledge for the world. We have paying customers today on that front.

The decision for VC includes the following reasons:

1. Making this happen at scale / quicker.

2. Having people like Marc from a16z, FF and Gigafund adding valuable insight in order to pull this off.

3. Derisking the mission with $$$
