Farewell to the Old Project, Boldly Venture into Silicon Valley: From Never Pitching to a Week of Extreme Fundraising that Triggered VC Bidding
1. Entrepreneurial Background and Project Pivot 1. Farewell to the Previous Project Eden and Team Transition • Bottleneck of the Old Direction: The team previously attempted a "Video Search" direction, which, despite being cutting-edge in concept, could not deliver products smoothly in practice, and there was a clear disconnect between product planning and the initial core audience. • Business Handover and Restart: The team decided to hand over the old project Eden to Dan for independent operation, while founders Matt, Ari, and content distribution lead Jason formed a three-person core team to seek new opportunities in San Francisco. 2. Building Own Content Distribution Channel (YouTube) • Layout from a Year Ago: Met Jason, who has 10 years of video production experience, at an event and decided to have him build the team's official YouTube channel. • Value of Own Influence: The first video received excellent feedback, accumulating valuable public visibility and a self-controlled content distribution channel for the team, becoming an important lever for subsequent product validation. 2. Core Logic of the Product: Cloud-Native Infinite Storage Application "Space" 1. Solving Own Pain Points: Starting from Casey Neistat's "Hard Drive Wall" • Storage Dilemma of Massive Material: Influenced by the famous YouTuber Casey Neistat's philosophy of "never deleting any original material," the team has accumulated over 15TB of video material over the years, but the efficiency of accessing and retrieving mechanical hard drives is extremely low. • Core Hypothesis and Technical Breakthrough: Proposed the hypothesis—can we edit videos directly in the cloud without occupying local disk space on the computer and without waiting for downloads? • Era of Network and Hardware Benefits: Current gigabit Wi-Fi and high-speed network bandwidth have become several orders of magnitude faster than traditional mechanical hard drives in transmission speed, making full cloud streaming access possible. 2. Core Features and Interaction Experience of the Product • Infinite Local Storage: After installing Space, the computer does not need to be configured with large-capacity hard drives (e.g., a 256GB laptop can edit projects of dozens of TB). • Zero Local Occupation: Materials and Premiere project files are hosted directly in the cloud, allowing for smooth streaming previews and edits by simply dragging them into the editing timeline, completely eliminating cumbersome upload and download processes. 3. San Francisco Fundraising Practical Review: Raised $2.4 Million in One Week 1. Initial Exploration and Basic Mistakes • Dilemma of Lack of Preparation: The first two weeks in San Francisco, the team appeared inexperienced when connecting with VCs, and when asked "Are you fundraising, and how much?" they could only vaguely respond "around $3 to $5 million," repeatedly hitting walls. • Review and High-Frequency Iteration: After each meeting with investors, the team immediately reorganized and aligned, preparing clear standard answers for "Why Now," "Market Space Size," and "GTM (Go-To-Market Strategy)." 2. Stimulating Investors' FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) • Instant Building on Twitter/X: Every time Ari developed and launched a new feature, Matt recorded a demonstration video that night and posted it on Twitter, continuously generating product momentum and discussion. • Network Penetration and Key Recommendations: • Entrepreneur friend Jay evaluated and introduced the team to top VC firms. • On the Monday of the 4th week, the team had a productive first meeting with Jonathan Lai from a16z. • Quickly converted intentions into negotiation leverage to convey heat to other investors. 3. Locking in Lead Investors and Completing Fundraising • Identifying Genuine Investment Intent: Amit, a partner at Golden Ventures, proactively adjusted his entire schedule for the next day to have a second in-depth conversation with the team after the initial call (unlike the usual VC response of "let's connect next week"). • Fundraising Results Announced: Ultimately led by a16z Speedrun, with Golden Ventures and Northside Ventures co-investing, successfully locking in $2.4 million in Pre-Seed funding and officially joining the a16z Speedrun accelerator. 4. Seed User Internal Testing, On-Site Delivery, and Product Pitfalls 1. Angel Investor and Benchmark User Neil (CEO of Super Whisper) On-Site Integration • Multi-Device Collaborative Testing: Went to the office of high-growth startup Super Whisper in Toronto to deploy the product on-site for its CEO Neil (an early angel investor who had previously introduced the team to the first batch of investors). • On-Site Network and Environmental Pitfalls: • During the video call, high concurrent uploads severely strained the network bandwidth, affecting streaming performance. • Encountered unconventional system compatibility issues (e.g., testing devices running an unreleased Mac OS 27 developer preview). 2. Team Agile Delivery and Emergency Response • Small Incident of Directly Pushing Updates to Production Environment: While simultaneously accommodating two user integrations, Matt temporarily pushed an updated onboarding process to the production environment, causing a process change in another integration for Ari; the team reviewed and clarified a more rigorous pre-launch testing mechanism. • User Issue Closure: Despite minor incidents on-site, the core process ran smoothly, effectively solving the pain point of cross-device file invocation and collecting rigid demands for the Windows version. 5. Current Product Status and Future Plans • Officially Open to the Public: Space is now open for public testing, targeting all creators and heavy data users struggling with local disk capacity. • Silicon Valley Acceleration Journey: The team has fully joined the a16z Speedrun incubation project in San Francisco, and will conduct high-intensity product iterations and cross-platform expansions based on internal testing feedback.
