How $3.8M in seed funding started Gatsby as an open source company
Founders Talk: Startups, CEOs, LeadershipShow Notes
Kyle Mathews is the founder and CEO of Gatsby, a new company he's building around an open source project of the same name. Gatsby as a project describes itself as a flexible modern website framework and blazing fast static site generator for React.js. At the macro level — Kyle's career has been focused on a better way to build and ship websites. It seems he's done just that with Gatsby's launch in late May 2015...since then he's taken on a co-founder and a seed round of $3.8M to form Gatsby Inc.
