How many letters can you do? F, G, H?

The idea is to follow plain ASCII given that Redis handles strings as binary blobs. So after round Z we are going to do round [, followed by \ and ].

So Series A is already the 65th round, right?

27th, blank-or-control characters don't make good labels, plus their phonetic version may confuse investors, e.g. "Series Escape" (033) just sounds bad

Well in UTF-8 encoding that is C2AF5C5F28E38384295F2FC2AF, or 1.542e+31 rounds of funding. If they're not profitable by then, it might be time to do an acquihire or pivot to hosted memcachedb.

There was a software tools company in the 1990s that got up to Series AA. I remember thinking "please don't let this ever happen to my startup".

Wow AA round? I'm guessing the founders had no equity left after the first 10 and were just throwing money into a pit.
