Thanks for sharing! Sounds like you are having a lot of fun!

It seems like Zinc is highly profitable. Now that you are running Assembled - is Zinc on autopilot?

I am also curious to know..why you decided to go for VC funding for Assembled when Zinc could help bootstrap it.

Zinc is still running! Xiang Li (https://www.linkedin.com/in/xli88/) is at the helm and pushing it to bigger and better things.

For why we took VC funding for Assembled: the full explanation is probably worth its own article. But the short answer is that the space and the opportunity are really big in customer support and the money helps us move much faster.
