Wow, it’s crazy how fast things have moved. Feels like only yesterday when we started Umbrel, and here we are today. I’m so thrilled to announce that we’ve raised $3M in our seed round to make Umbrel even more awesome for you all! 🎉 I highly recommend reading our blog post about this raise that goes over how @lukechilds and I met, why we started Umbrel, our journey so far, and what lies ahead: [https://blog.getumbrel.com/seed-6d09aa08f8ac](https://blog.getumbrel.com/seed-6d09aa08f8ac) We’ll be using the funds raised to build out our team and accelerate Umbrel’s development. **We’re hiring across all roles — design, development, marketing, business, operations, community, and support.** You can be among the first ten people to join Umbrel’s core team, and your work will have a direct impact on shaping Umbrel’s future. What we care about: talent with a genuine love for your craft and the desire to do meaningful work. What we don’t care about: credentials and degrees. If that sounds like you, and our mission resonates with you, email us at [jobs@getumbrel.com](mailto:jobs@getumbrel.com) – Today is a big day. And we owe it to you, the community. Thanks for supporting us with code contributions, bug reports, fixes, documentation, and more than we can ever return. 🙏❤ ---

Congratulations from Canada here! In the short time I have been exposed to Umbrel, I have become a big believer and supporter. Enough so, that I am putting my own money on the line (in the form of sats, of course). ---
