We launch mini-series on Acquired with a subject near & dear to our heroes\\u2019 hearts: startup fundraising! This has been one of our most-requested new topics, and we\\u2019re excited to kick things off with makers of the popular Rec Room social VR app, Against Gravity, which raised one of Seattle\\u2019s hottest venture rounds in recent history: a $4m seed led by Sequoia Capital in 2016. CEO Nick Fajt joins to tell the story from company inception to building and shipping the initial product, fundraising as a first-time CEO, what they\\u2019ve been able to accomplish with the capital and their vision for the future. We had a blast touching on many classic Acquired themes for the first time \\u201cin-action\\u201d with a young, growing company, and hope you all enjoy the discussion as much as we did. Let us know what you think in the Slack!
