Moving on from Highrise

Thanks for sharing this here! My team has been awesome. I've worked in a ton of places before and the thing I'm proudest about is the group that was put together here. Out of this world. If you need folks for your business, I can't recommend them more highly. I mentioned short bios of them in that post. Please reach out to them. I know they'll impress you.

I am going to ask a question around this decision, which is based on some research we are doing with our own web app currently.

I know that Highrise was essentially a 'bootstrapped' company, in that you had to grow organically based on actual revenue and profit you made from the system.

My question is: Do you think this same decision would have been made if Highrise had received some sort of lump sum angel or venture funding? i.e. if you had the ability to make drastic expansion or ramp up resources using funding - could you have gotten the company to a level where it could start experiencing growth and revenue enough to sustain itself as much as Basecamp (the app) currently does?
