Why Bootstrapping Can Help Startups Raise VC Money

After closing their <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/19/redis-labs-raises-a-60m-series-e-round/" target="_blank">latest funding round</a>, <a href="https://redislabs.com/" target="_blank">Redis Labs</a> (circa $146 millions raised to date) announced new licence changes (again) to their Redis Modules. Before that we had high profile startups <a href="https://www.confluent.io/" target="_blank">Confluent</a> (behind Apache Kafka with circa $205m raised to date) and <a href="https://www.mongodb.com/" target="_blank">MongoDB Inc </a>(now a public company) change their licences.

There’s been a lot of press lately about <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/30/technology/women-entrepreneurs-speak-out-sexual-harassment.html" target="_blank">the culture of harassment</a> that’s taking Silicon Valley by storm.
