What will OpenRouter use the $100m for? You say that it "makes the company extremely durable" and is "good validation to employees", but I'd imagine that there are more interesting things to do with 100 million dollars.

Think about what OpenRouter primarily traffics in and what you can do with that raw material.
seriously. you don’t raise $100m just to be safe unless you’re bleeding cash or you lied to the investors.
there are companies who raised xxxM$ and never had to touch the money because they were already profitable.
Yep!

Everyone wants a conspiracy, but what I originally posted is in fact the boring truth. Having a bunch of cash in the bank makes for a durable business!
