lol, revenue not even mentioned on the page. Seems like an absurd valuation but times are crazy and VCs are throwing money anywhere they can

my only guess is that they raised based on their user count and have pitched some sort of strategy to monetize based on that. I'm guessing it is B2B focus, maybe some platform to make it easier for SaaS API companies to get to users. Or just pure enterprise sales and try to get big companies to pay for it. Maybe even try to monetize the data about what APIs free tier developers are using, although that type of telemetry would probably piss off most their users

I just don't see developers paying for Postman directly, there are decent open source alternatives.

You don't have to guess. You only had to go to their pricing page [0] to find out what they are selling.

How do you meet VCs or find good ones? Do you hunt them down? Do you suggest a valuation for investment?

Start Googling. You'll find many hundreds of blog posts and podcasts about this. If all else fails, start listening to This Week In Startups.
