TLDR
Weaviate Podcast describes episode #140 as a look back at seven years of the company with co-founders Bob van Luijt and Etienne Dilocker. Its account begins with van Luijt bringing a Node.js prototype and a pitch about unstructured data to Dilocker's workplace—and asking whether he knew the Go programming language. The podcast says they bet on natural language processing while still debating whether “AI” was too fringe a word for their website. After a year without paying themselves, they raised a $1.2 million seed round during COVID, according to the podcast, which says the product was already built when ChatGPT arrived.
