New Startup VoidZero Receives $4.6M Funding for JavaScript Tooling Permalink

Evan You:

I have founded VoidZero Inc., a company dedicated to building an open-source, high-performance, and unified development toolchain for the JavaScript ecosystem. We have raised $4.6 million in seed funding, led by Accel.

Picking up where the Rome Tools project failed, VoidZero hopes to build a suite of high-performance tools atop a common foundation: the Oxc toolset implemented in Rust.

The goals are admirable and as the creator of Vue.js and Vite Evan You has a track record of making tools that gain adoption, but there’s no mention of how they plan to make US$4.6M plus return for investors.
