Bitwarden has had VC investors for years, long before the mentioned 2022 funding. I think our track record to date shows how we operate in this relationship. We specifically choose partners that align with our vision, not just anyone that comes off the street wanting to throw money at us (though there are many). Our health as a company afford us this luxury.

Bitwarden is and has been monetized since the beginning. There are no plans to change how we monetize our products. It's working well for us.



Then why raise an additional $100m?


To grow faster. To be able to fund new projects that could be of higher value to people willing to pay extra.

You know, how you don't just save all of your life for a house - but get a mortgage and enjoy a house now, not in 50 years.


But if I had tonnes of cash, I wouldn't get a mortgage.


Thanks, then this all seems to be much ado about nothing. Cheers!


that or check back in a year when the founder will say, "... the realaties of the market..."


You could ask them, you’re replying to the founder right now, after all.


I know. I've watched this cycle repeat time and time again. 'We would never' (six to twelve months pass) 'Well never say never'.
