What is this "Kaleidos Ventures SL" stuff I see when I do some research on who's behind Penpot? You guys are a VC or what?

<i>Since we keep getting this question, we decided it was far simpler to just change our company name so we will soon be dropping the “ventures” bit. Still, please read what follows.</i>

No, we're not. Kaleidos Ventures SL is just a private rebranding of Kaleidos Open Source SL. It's the same bunch of people that 10 years ago created a company to build digital products for other startups. Many of us had been free & open source enthusiasts and hackers for over 10 years (mid 90's) already back then, so we wanted to make sure we stood behind our values around technology and society. Thanks to our internal innovation and incubation process (<a href="https://piweek.com" target="_blank">ΠWEEK</a>), <a href="https://taiga.io" target="_blank">Taiga</a> was born a few years ago. In recent times, we also needed something like Penpot, so we created an internal prototype, after which we asked ourselves whether it would be challenging but also cool to ditch all third-party consultancy contracts and just focus on OUR free & open source products. We said "Yes! Let's do this!". To name this risky and exciting business shift during pandemic times, it was convenient to create a child company, Kaleidos Ventures SL, and we asked for a bit of seed money to make sure we could build a solid professional tool, but the transition has been flawless and our <a href="https://kaleidos.net" target="_blank">main website</a> has remained almost the same, which is very nice.
