Yeah it might seem like a crazy amount.

Building a terminal is hard. We have to build feature parity, maintain a stable terminal-shell interface, on top of modernizing the product experience. The money allows us to hire engineers to work on this project full-time and create a great product experience.

I don’t doubt any of that. The amount seems crazy not because of the potential costs, or ability to invest in the product, but rather due to TAM.

But nobody would lead a round of that size without a decent monetization strategy. I suspect enterprise focus around security / IAM integrations (hence all the telemetry).

How are you going to get a return on that money though? Sell an enterprise version, or do a free / professional model?
