Self-aware commentary like this only works if used sparingly, but this one is extremely effective - acknowledges the mercenary motivations, implicit hypocrisy, and self-aggrandization of such announcements while nonetheless communicating all the important information and succinctly breaking down a real problem that their platform solves. On top of that, the legitimate uses of funding are clearly identified, answering any questions about both "why" and "how much".
I loved it. They stayed as far away as possible for your traditional grandiose, jargon-filled, corporate speak we normally get in these announcenments. They definitely gained a few points with me :).
Cheers, guys.
