One small step for Snappy

Raising money for your startup is easily one of the most tiring things that you can undertake. Its an event horizon that unless you have been through it, you can't really describe how it feels to be on the other side. We could not have done it without help and guidance from our friends and mentors at Pivotal (especially Leo Spiegel and earlier in the process Sunny Madra). Its easy to fool yourself into thinking that the funding itself is an achievement especially when it gets written up in multiple places. But my co founders and I know very well that completing the raise is at best a milestone which starts the clock on gaining  enough escape velocity to avoid falling into the chasm that befalls a vast majority of companies that secure their first raise. All said and done, its an exciting time and we plan to use this round to build a significant company that brings new disruptive capabilities to the market and allows our customers to get more value out of data than has been possible hitherto. Thanks to everyone who wrote back to the three of us and wished us well.
