There are some startups that behave like sprinters, and others that run a marathon. I came across Instabug when I was in Cairo in 2013. Born during the chaotic era of the Arab Spring, this plucky startup managed to make it to TechCrunch Disrupt, then Y Combinator in 2016, then a $1.7M in Seed round led by Accel Partners. Originally part of the Egyptian accelerator Flat6Labs Cairo, they raised $300K from angel investors in 2013.
Today they announce a $5M in a Series A round, once again led by Accel. Other angel investors joining include Amr Awadallah, co-founder of Cloudera, and Jim Payne, founder and CEO of MoPub, both of whom have invested previously.
