The Pydantic stuff is nice, but in a minimalist way that I don't see being amenable to SaaS/vc/etc.

We have a SaaS platform (Pydantic Logfire - General and AI observability), and we raised our Series A from Sequoia.

For good or bad, I think we're pretty "SaaS/vc/etc." already.

  • Yeah it seems a bit forced though. Like why go from an open source utility library for typing to take VC money and try to shoe-horn in an observability platform that no one was asking for?

    My prediction, not going to be a good investment.

    • ROFL.

      I clearly didn't build pydantic "to take VC money" - I maintained Pydantic for 5 years before deciding to take VC money.

      I wanted to build logfire and I didn't want to compete with or restrict our open source, we so built logfire.

      Let's see on the investment; seems to be going pretty well so far.
