I'm a former user of 1Password, the password manager, but this is depressing. Why? Because it profoundly changes the nature of what they have to do to be successful, where they will end up as a company, etc.

1Password takes a $200M Series A https://t.co/PRq1PWdTlo
Holy moly, @1Password just raised $200 million in first-round funding from @Accel. That is a gargantuan pile of money and a dramatic change of direction for a largely self-funded, 176-employee company. https://t.co/IkQT4JbCnN

Wow, @1Password raising $200m is big news. I love them and I'm rooting for it to work out.

So sad to read this ?. Whenever I read about a software service I like hopping on the venture capital train to unicorn-ville, I fully expect them to go to shit. 1PW now need to beome a many billion dollar company OR DIE TRYING. That usually lead to desperate/shitty decisions. https://t.co/HRQHTjZx4a

Why?!
Growth at all costs is a San Francisco ideology.
We should replace it with humane ideology: bind scale to responsibility.
The societal cost of all-costs growth is everything.https://t.co/zMGPE82r8k

Woah, @1Password just took $200M VC money… "we need to grow, and grow aggressively”. Uh what? You do? Why?

I love 1password. They were doing so well. There is NO other password manager that works even half as well.
And every single time a product I like has taken this route, it has spelled death.

While I understand people's knee-jerk reaction to raising venture capital when a company is profitable, I am sure that the team searched for the right partner.https://t.co/x0eYXqZshK https://t.co/O5sKEyTHog
I personally switched away years ago. If you want to switch you might want to do it soon. Companies that raise this much need to start finding ways to lock you in, hold your data hostage against you, or act in anticompetitive ways that harm you long-term. https://t.co/OasOQB48tW
