“Built on real stuff” is an interesting frame.
My overwhelming feeling after spending time at turbopuffer is that this company is built on real stuff. Revenue from paying customers. Technical problems that require focus and expertise to solve. A cap table that reflects the people doing the work. Customers that the team is excited to serve and learn from. Team chemistry. A talent philosophy that wants people to find their strengths. Care for your colleagues inside and outside of work. A pace you can spend your life working at.
