For anyone not familiar, the website/product is at https://particle.io

I had to ask AI, as the article just kept saying "particle" as if that was the full name, and search results were showing me mens face cream.

It's an IoT development and deployment platform from what I gathered. If that description is inaccurate, please correct.

Sold for $50 million according to AI.

yes it's the IoT platform. but I got a lot of cold emails from sales guys confusing me with the founder of the face cream company. sigh

Everything in life has its price, doesn't it ? :D

It looked like a labor of love.

May you have as much success on your next venture.

You truly have inspired me to grind forward with my own.
