Probably graphistry.com, as it's linked in their profile. Which themselves have four outside investors (Bloomberg Beta, In-Q-Tel, Nvidia Corporation, Greylock Partners) so not sure why they are in this sub-thread when I specifically talked about jobs at non-VC funded company.

We haven't taken VC $ since our initial deep tech buildout years (more public pieces includes what became nvidia rapids.ai, apache arrow[js], ..). The VC funding and later sheer effort (and supporting customers) enabled us to keep going while the market caught up.

The result is we still have all our board seats, at most only talk to our customer's capital teams, and customer revenue is covering 100% of our bills + growth (+ profit). And personally, it's such a shift that 2am thoughts are more about customer success & growth vs financiers & payroll & CAC accounting mindtricks.
