Hey everybody! š Here's some news 
Sid Yadav

Rudy Santino
 and I wanted to share with you today...
We've raised an additional $4M to help accelerate our vision here at Circle. Techcrunch covered our raise. And you can see the announcement when you scroll down below.
We did this fundraise differently.
We had a lot of opportunities to raise traditional venture capital from top tier firms.
Instead, we chose to raise money from well known angel investors, operators, community builders, and...our very own customers / creators. š š ā¤ļø
It's special to be able to add some of our customers and community members to the cap table this time around. We exist because of you.
Those investors/advisors are: 
Anne-Laure Le Cunff
, 
Tiago Forte
, Ankur Nagpal, 
Nat Eliason
, Brendon Burchard, 
Ben Tossell
, 
Greta Eagan
, Elizabeth Yin,

David Perell

Matthew Gartland (he/him)
 and certainly others who I tried to tag but couldn't find š
This is a win for the whole community. Now we'll have more resources so that we can:
š Execute on our product roadmap (which we're truly excited about)
š©š»āš» Build the best community and education for folks building communities
š Invest significantly in support and customer success
