HashiCorp – S1
Holly mother of God. Mitchell was still on HN yesterday, as he was replying something about Backblaze IPO and its business. Today it is his IPO,<p>$259 million revenue. 2100+ Customers, 1500+ employees, $10 Billion Valuation.........<p>I mean I felt it wasn't that long ago Vagrant was "the" tool for the job.<p>How it all started, the submission on HN [1], quote:<p>><i>This project has been the love child of myself and John Bender (nickelcode.com) for the past 6 weeks. We're both daily HN readers and would like to use this as a starting point to show Vagrant to the public. Specifically, I'd like to open up to any questions and feedback, so that the HN community can get to know Vagrant. Your feedback is extremely valued. Thanks!</i><p>><i>A bit of background on this project: I work at a development company (citrusbyte.com) in LA. I see new projects almost every couple months, and I'm often working on multiple projects simultaneously due to work, freelance, and personal projects. Managing the development environments between many projects on a local machine became a huge burden and a coworker once mentioned developing in a virtual machine. I thought this was a great idea, and Vagrant was eventually born from it.</i><p>Really amazing achievement in such short space of time. Congratulations!<p>Edit: I wonder how many company started or partially started on HN that went on to IPO. I know Dropbox is one. Do we have a list somewhere?<p>[1] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1175901" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1175901</a>
