Some of the best companies I ran into in robust, software engineering are still unknowns. You don't see them or their methods on HN, Reddit, and so on.

I wish them luck.

Hopefully this round of funding brings about some performance improvements :)

NHN is not well known in the valley, but it's Naver Corporation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naver_Corporation) which is one of South Korea's largest telecoms, and is also the parent company behind the Line messaging app.
