During the summer of 2012, while working in venture capital, one of the early-stage companies I stumbled upon was founded by a trio of guys based in Singapore. We met a few times in the Valley and quickly became friends, and I informally helped them, from time to time, navigate the waters of moving to the Valley and getting situated here. I hadn't talked to them in a while but we recently reconnected, and I thought their journey from starting a company in Asia to raising venture capital in California would be interesting to share with others, not only for those who reside outside the Valley and hope to move here to build their businesses, but also because this team is focused on building software exclusively for developers. This is an interest-area of mine because I've found there are some investors who are betting long on developer-focused businesses, while others like them but worry about their ability to scale to venture "size." Below is an edited transcript of an informal Q&A we all coordinated over email with founders?of Nitrous.IO, Arun Thampi, Peter Kim, and A.J. Solimine:
