BiteSpeed Raises $1.9 Million Seed Funding From Sequoia India's Surge
D2C Enabler BiteSpeed Raises Funds From Sequoia's Surge, CRED's Kunal Shah, Others [Funding alert] BiteSpeed raises $275K in seed round led by Whiteboard Capital

About the team
BiteSpeed started out in the dorm rooms of BITS Pilani when we hardly knew much about running a company, in fact most of us hadnāt written a line of code in our lives.
Ā
We were inspired by companies like Postman and Freshworks which have built market leading software companies from India and had a desire to create something world-class which we could be proud of.
Ā
So we jumped off the cliff and built a parachute on our way down (just as Reid Hoffman likes to say).
Ā
Ā
We could make a long, boring list of 20 company values but by now you probably do get a gist of the kind of people we are. We are young, ambitious self-learners on a journey to create a globally competitive software company from India.
