Hi
guys
this
is
Christophe
I
joined
clowder
a
month
ago.
I
am
kind
of
help
with
business
development
in
get
lab
and
specifically
in
german-speaking
regions
in
Europe,
so
I'm
kind
of
the
first
contact
point
for
any
german-speaking
customers
interested
in
get
louder
and
kind
of
looking
for
for
the
best
fit
between
their
companies
in
the
Atlanta
and
I
think,
while
they're
questions
that
people
seem
to
be
asking
and
are
reading
news
of
the
ideal
next
year
of
gift
lab
and
the
clients
around
that,
and
so
looking
at
what's
happening.
B
A
Thanks
it's
a
great
question.
Our
intention
from
the
moment
we
took
external
funding,
was
to
stay
independent.
So
if
you
take
external
money,
it's
harder
to
stay
independent
because
you
have
to
get
to
a
so
called
liquidity
event.
It
basically
means
you
either
sell
the
company
or
you
become
a
public
company.
So
when
we
took
external
money
in
in
2015,
we
said:
okay,
we
want
to
become
a
public
company
and
we
put
a
date
on
it.
A
A
They
have
the
company
and
it's
it's
more
their
decision
than
anybody
else's,
but
we
do
have
some
sway
like
if,
as
an
executive
team,
you're
not
interested
in
being
acquired,
it's
harder
to
acquire
their
company
and
what's
really
important
there
is
that
we're
always
more
optimistically
about
the
future
than
anybody
outside
the
company.
And
that
means
that
we
have
to
keep
growing.
A
We
have
to
keep
going
I
ACV
keep
going
our
revenue,
but
we
also
have
to
keep
going
as
a
product,
we're
investing
at
a
whole
lot
of
money
in
developing
gitlab
for
it,
and
it
shows
up
as
a
big
expense,
so
it
makes
the
company
less
attractive
but
longer-term.
Hopefully,
if
we
build
the
right
things
in
the
right
way,
that
makes
the
company
more
attractive.
A
So
we
keep
investing
in
the
future
in
order
to
knock
upon
and
I
can't
make
any
guarantees,
but
so
far
we've
always
been
able
to
not
get
acquired.
Apparently
I
think
the
last
serious
moment
was
in
2414.
We
got
a
bit
of
10
million
dollars
on
the
company
and
my
Dutch
accountant
said
you
should
take
it
because
you
never
have
to
work
again
and
I.
A
Let
my
accountant
know
that
I
really
liked
working,
so
it
might
continuing
working
and
I
think
I
said
in
one
sentence
to
Dmitry
if
I
email
and
it
got
back
one
word
so
it
wasn't,
it
wasn't
a
hard
decision
to
say
no
I
must
say
since
then
we
didn't
have
any
series
acquisition
offers.
So
I've
been
kind
of
surprised
by
that,
but
you
never
you
never
know.
Maybe
people
twice
up.
We've
never
put
a
lot
of
time
in
that
we
talk,
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
investors,
public
market
investors
and
people
like
that.
A
A
All
of
this
is
not
a
guarantee
that
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
stay
independent
and
become
a
public
company
is
one
of
those
things
like.
If
we
don't
do
that
and
funds
that
invested
are
at
the
end
of
their
life
cycle
day.
There
tends
to
be
more
pressure
to
so,
and
we
want
to
get
ahead
of
that.
We
also
set
ambitious
goals
or
for
first
as
a
company,
and
our
customers
need
multi-cloud
and
with
gilt
lab
they
get
workflow
portability.
A
Whatever
cloud
you
use,
you
have
the
same:
compliance,
the
same
security,
the
same
method
of
delivering
software,
the
same
productivity
measures,
the
same
way
of
working
across
clouds,
and
they
value
that
and
they
value
that
from
Independence
and
there.
So
we
were
gonna,
try
everything
we
can
to
stay
independent.
