This is truly inspiring.
We're bootstrapped and profitable. Unfortunately we incorporated as a Delaware C Corp because we didn't know we wouldn't raise.
If non-VC were more normalized, like Rand thinks maybe it should be, it probably would have saved us a bunch of money and hassle from the get go. I also think the expected return as a founder is probably better if you don't shoot for the extremely unlikely event of building a billion dollar company in 5-7 years.
I'm rooting for you Rand! Btw I finally moved our blog over to a subfolder like you suggested. Keep up the awesome work, can't wait to try SparkToro.
