constrained
Classic VC-backed private company profile pre-2024 (board/investor oversight, runway-dependent); post the Aug-2024 Google deal, reporting indicates the cap table shifted toward employee ownership after investors were bought out, but the company remains cash/runway-constrained — evidenced by its own reported exploration of a sale or new funding round as compute costs mount. No evidence of free/unconstrained capital at any point.
