Remind me, how much venture capital did Linus need to raise for building git?

Linus didn’t build git. He built a proof of concept and then handed it over to real maintainers that wrote real code.

Fair enough, but he created it and I don't know the names of the real maintainers (sorry). And I don't think these two are writing the code for GitButler tbh. Anyhow, main point still stands: git is used by millions with no venture capital funding.
