Today is a milestone for us as the core partners are all hanging out in our new office together. As I mentioned in a previous post we have been and will continue to be a very distributed team but we are spending more time together to make even better progress on our core products and, of course, this blog.
This is going to be a big season for us as a group as it’s a ‘make it or break it’ year for us in terms of our core metrics of business success – we’ve been together for 3 years and counting and although the momentum has been pacing well (and the income as an organization) it’s not where it needs to be yet.
We had thought that we’d go bootstrap with our startup for a long time (and we are, at heart, still that way) but we did take a small financing round last year to accelerate the pace of development and growth. Nothing’s completely off the table as I’ve personally raised a bunch of money from Angels / VCs in the past so we could consider it again this year as well.
But, for now, we’re going to take it day-by-day and attack our roadmap and serve the community here as well as our customers in the best ways possible.
I hope, for your sake, that you’re doing great things with your organization, whether it’s an organization of 1 or 10,000. That you enjoy what you’re doing and who you’re working with. It’s too much of a shame if it’s any other way.
Love what you do and love who you get to do it with.
