As a new reader, and would be founder of healthy and sustainable businesses, I'm curious what events steered the 20x200 towards venture funding. With 50,000 customers, was revenue still too low to grow adequately fast? I imagine the space that they are trying to grow in could see more competitors. Is the need for outside funding a form of "turbo boosts" for early company growth. Getting a group of solid business investors all hoping and working for your success is a big value add, is this also part of the decision? Great news for 20×200!
