Rancher wasn’t doing that well, from what I heard. Any validity to that?

Well, they just took in $40M, and they were growing 100-150% YoY...

Rancher was doing very well. Red Hat ran into them as serious competitors all the time. I think they sold too early to be honest.

Can any of the Rancher employees out there chime in on how this worked out financially for the employees?
