I never had the feeling that Cosmos had “a lot of money”. The team is like, 3 people?
Didn’t know, so that’s fair. Although pretty far from being bootstrapped, a $6M seed going on two years doesn’t exactly scream “excessive and VC-horny team of moneybags” to me either, but maybe my calibration for that is off
It’s still far away from to the way Arena rolls. Which for the record I’m a big fan of. But it’s a very particular choice made by that team because of who they are, and what they want to make, and I think it’s ok for other teams to not feel that choice is right for them
Totally agreed! While the way Arena does things *feels* better to me, I’m not in a position to say that any one method of building a company is better than the other. This thread just got me curious for a quick google about differences in funding of Cosmos and Arena :)
Arena is the real-world answer to whether design is art, which, no, because if it were there would a lot more artists making products, and Arena are a bunch of artists building a tech product
