Raising VC funding for a solo-dev OSS project
Congrats on the project and company, looks really cool! Funnily enough I wanted to write the same post this week. I got lucky enough to get into this current batch of YC, but in the end you ended up in a great spot if you were able to raise directly 1.6M.
Our tools have so many similarities, Windmill is also AGPLv3 (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;windmill-labs&#x2F;windmill" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;windmill-labs&#x2F;windmill</a>) and also self-hostable, and also about building custom internal tools. We focus a lot less on UI but on the run custom logic part as flows of Deno or Python (and we actually just released an open spec about it we call OpenFlow: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;windmill-labs&#x2F;windmill&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;openflow.openapi.yaml" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;windmill-labs&#x2F;windmill&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;openflow...</a>). So in that sense we could be greatly complementary. If you would be interested to chat: ruben@windmill.dev.
