The Skeptical Founder, Funding Announcement

Brief

Micah Desai, founder of an enterprise software company, announcing a $12M Series A while maintaining his characteristic dry wit.

Subject: Funding Announcement, $12M Series A

So we raised $12M in Series A funding.
After 67 pitch meetings, 14 red-eye flights, and approximately 943 slight variations of the same slide deck, someone finally decided to give us money.
Multiple someones, actually.
The round was led by Accel Partners, with participation from Founders Fund and several strategic angels who I promise I’ll name-drop once our PR team approves this post.
If you’re wondering: Yes, fundraising took longer than expected. No, it wasn’t always fun explaining for the 50th time why enterprise document security actually matters. And yes, I briefly considered a career change to literally anything else around pitch meeting #38.
The capital will help us grow the team (we’re hiring across engineering, sales, and customer success), accelerate our product roadmap, and maybe occasionally order lunch that isn’t whatever was about to expire at the local grocery store.
