@shiringhaffary @KateClarkTweets @rachelmetz mostly untrue, windsurf raised a series c round at a 1.25b valuation last year no way they would just sell at only 2.5x when they have grown like crazy since the last round

6⃣ $ raised Raising a $6M seed round involving a16z, Variant, and angels from OpenAI, Notion, and Farcaster is no joke. a16Z is a massive tech investor that has invested in over 1,711 investment rounds across 1,500 unique projects (including Surf!) https://t.co/oPfjNXMPtX
Just to paint an even fuller picture General Catalyst led Windsurf’s Series C less than a year ago $150M round including Kleiner Perkins and Greenoaks $3B OpenAI acquisition now off. And the core team poached by Google. I’d assume the value is wiped out? Or maybe the board https://t.co/eG9WzQ2xZe
