Investors include SoftTech VC, SV Angel, Y Combinator, CrunchFund, Dave Morin‘s Slow Ventures, Susa Ventures, FundersClub and numerous individuals, including 49ers Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana, Gmail developer Paul Buchheit, Twitch co-founders Justin Kan and Michael Siebel, Scribd co-founder Jared Friedman, Nerdwallet co-founder Jacob Gibson and former Stripe CTO Greg Brockman.
