Top Founders · EP 480: YC Backed Polymail Raises $1M, hits 20k Users with CEO Brandon Foo · 16 Nov 2016 podcast

We have raised just around a million dollars, including YC's investment.

Uh, we use convertible equity.

So it's the YC document is called a safe.

We've been able to stay pretty lean so far.

Interesting.
