Прочитайте ебанестический путь фаундера Gumroad.

Про 🌿 настоящий успех и ложные цели, навязанные венчурной клеткой:

→ We were venture-funded, which was like playing a game of double-or-nothing.

→ We needed to find a new, larger fit to justify raising more money (again and again, until IPO).

→ Some of my investors wanted me to shut down the small business.

→ There was a path to an independent business, not beholden to the go-big-or-go-home mentality I signed up for when I raised money.

→ Instead of pretending to be some sort of product visionary, I’m just focused on making Gumroad better.

→ My only metric of success was building a billion-dollar company. Now, I realize that was a terrible goal. 

→ I am now more focused on creating value than capturing it.
