The majority of our Fund II investments have remained quiet about their funding, even as many operate in plain sight. Myriad of reasons but a trend we generally think is healthy. That said, several reached operational milestones where discussing their funding became appropriate. Joymode is making life more fun without having to buy more stuff.
