"Everyone wants investment from venture capitalists."
Am I the only one not living in this bubble. I cofounded a boostrap business. Having cash to hire and not have to work two jobs would sure be nice, but if I am raising it would not be to be on Forbes list, it would be to build an actual business. The vanity of those people sometimes.
I listened to an interview with Ivan Kuckir who created Photopea with an old laptop and a cheap webhost. It runs in the users browsers, so his costs are extremely low. The interviewer asked him about taking VC money, but he didn't seem keen. It's a runaway financial success as it is, and there isn't really anything that taking a bunch of money would allow him to do that he can't already do.
I really hope you read the second sentence and understood I was trying to be a little satirical here
I enjoyed that sentence, too. It may be what led me to keep reading to the end of the piece.
I did, I enjoyed reading that, from ire to wry smile, in a sentence.
I'm very glad my structure worked as intended :)
Can you f*cking believe that the publication on Medium I originally posted this to edited that sentence out!?
