Oh god damn it. CouchSurfing.org is absolutely going to be ruined by taking VC money.
It existed for years as a totally free volunteer based non-profit. The site was kinda crappy and was sometimes slow, but it just worked. The important things were the community and its network effects.
Now these VCs will be looking for their huge exit and they'll eventually start fucking with the site (see: Quora). What a shame.
