Big news! @ScrapingBee has been acquired by Oxylabs’ Group 🎉 @PierreDeWulf and I (almost) bootstrapped @ScrapingBee from day one, grew to 2500+ customers all around the world, and built a team of amazing people. This is a milestone we could only dream of when we launched

I recently stepped down as CEO of @ScrapingBee . @PierreDeWulf and I started ScrapingBee in 2019. We were two engineers with no network, no funding, and honestly no idea what we were doing on the business side. Fast forward to 2025: @Oxylabs_io acquires us. I stay on to help

As a French 🇫🇷, I'm also wondering what went wrong 🫤

What’s the best thing written about why the remarkably vigorous and inventive France of the 70s and 80s (TGV, Minitel, Ariane, Rafale, Concorde, the world’s preeminent nuclear grid…) has not been nearly as visible in the 21st century? What went wrong?

I think the opposite. Once you have enough savings (12-24 months) you should go all in and quit your job. For most people in tech the worst case scenario, meaning their startup failing is not that bad. They can find a new job fast. So easy to procrastinate on « side projects

Personally I think you should have a successful side project before quitting your job to launch something online or the pressure to make things work will crush you.
