Announcing new Gatsby Company
Blog post from Gatsby
Gatsby Inc., co-founded by Kyle Mathews and Sam Bhagwat, was announced as a company dedicated to enhancing the building and running of feature-rich, fast websites based on the open-source static site generator, Gatsby. Originating from Mathews' experiences with web development and the rise of JavaScript applications, Gatsby aims to overcome the limitations faced by traditional CMS-driven and static sites by leveraging modern engineering practices, React, and cloud-native infrastructure. The company secured $3.8 million in seed funding from investors like Trinity Ventures to further develop the Gatsby ecosystem while maintaining its open-source nature. The new company seeks to automate website builds and improve core functionality, while engaging with developers and businesses interested in utilizing React and headless CMSs for web development.
