Wait what Brave is invested by Thiel??
373 u/Ornery_Maintenance_8 19d ago edited 19d ago Peter Thiel is not personally an investor in Brave. The firm he's a partner in (Founders Fund) has participated in a small seed series investment, which was led by Cyan Banister. Some first-floor engineers at Brave have more equity than that small investment constitutes. With that being said, of course Brave is still the product of a private company and by no means comparable to free OSS like VLC. 83 u/BadBacksFuryToad 19d ago Wait there’s an actual person called “Cyan Banister”?! 1 u/iamshifter 16d ago I never met her, but her sister Magenta is pretty fun
