it's not hard to make something without funding, even by yourself, as long as you have the time and skill. but problem of the internet of today is saturation. you can have the best service or tool, much better than the number one on the market, but if you have no cash to burn on ads, you won't get anywhere.

i have not read the history of this project but i would consider this as pure luck and nothing more(sadly). nothing wrong with that, but understand that this is a unicorn(not as in 1B company but as someone who was able to make profit).

> DatoCMS started in 2015 as an internal tool for our italian web agency.

Yeah, almost every agency used to have its own system back then, before drupal, wordpress and other CMSs were more popular.
