Hot in Enterprise IT/VC - What's 🔥 in Enterprise IT/VC #303
While there is a constant stream of news on TechCrunch and Twitter about new funding rounds, including this pre-seed deal from a16z this past week, what happens The recession is now technically over.
Adam Neumann raised $1bn pre-seed round from @a16z to ‘revolutionize real estate’ to companies post funding? Seeing this tweet from liveblocks, a boldstart portfolio co, this past week got me 🤔 about the often missed importance of sustaining momentum once you “hello world.” 📝 Introducing our open-source collaborative block text editor!
Interested in building a multiplayer note-based app? We've built the foundations to make your project a reality. Add multiple types of blocks, and see them shared in real-time ✨

Info 👇 While I won’t debate the merits of when and how to announce your funding and product launch, let me show you a few examples of what liveblocks has shipped from a content and product perspective since its funding announcement. IMO, the MOST IMPORTANT aspect of your launch is not the day of launch but every day after! If you don’t have a plan and a content calendar of original content and product releases planned for after you launch, then you’re likely not ready to announce. What’s clear is that liveblocks knows its audience and goal for each and every post - get more developers to understand how and why to use the product. Besides being consistent, liveblocks also keeps setting a new level for what interactive tutorials should look like for developers. You can see that evolution from the initial announcement of storage block in March to the latest sample gallery included below. Here’s the initial funding announcement from March 2022 🧵. It's a big day for us:
1. We’ve raised a $5M seed round from Boldstart, Atlassian, Seedcamp, and more.
2. Storage block is now available for everyone. 🚀
liveblocks.io/blog/liveblock… In June, it followed up with a detailed post for engineers focused on the age old problem of undo/redo and how to realize and sync offline and online. It also generated some nice buzz on hacker news. All of this resulted in accelerating growth as the company passed the 2 million connections mark in June. Of note, it took 5 months to get to the first 1 million and only 2 months for the second. In July, Chris, who heads up devrel, wrote a tutorial on how to animate multiplayer cursors. Finally, this past week, liveblocks launched Examples Week where it released a new example each day and showcased an interactive gallery so devs could check out the code and play with live demos. Yesterday we released our new examples gallery and its multiplayer header background. 🏁
Give it a try → liveblocks.io/examples Not only did liveblocks launch the ability for devs to build their own Notion like clone (see above) but it also showcased an interactive spreadsheet on Friday. Net net, launching is great, but unless you plan ahead with a full 📆 of content and releases over time, your launch may be wasted. As always, 🙏🏼 for reading and please share with your friends and colleagues. Scaling Startups
