I do in fact care about the nth developer when I visit about us pages.

Maybe a slight bias on my part as I'm a developer and not an investor.

And not that funding or advising is less important, but it's a nice feeling connecting a product I like to faces who make it happen.

It's super useful to potential hires about the kind of team you're building. Especially if there's some kind of niche you're in (product, tech, region, whatever). There are people who I would climb mountains to work with, and others within a niche whose very presence in a company is enough to steer me away. Another signal for me is the fraction of xooglers in the engineering team.

In which direction?

You could look all the details you need and more up on linkedin.

Because it's so cool when I go "oh hey I know that guy!"
