Definitely have 10+ years ago. The non technical partners (majority) thought no refactoring was needed until it was almost too late. Company still exists but had to pivot quite a bit. More recently another one which is being killed by tech debt but the tech is so old that only a rewrite can really save it and the income from it is just not high enough to warrant it. (the former was written by me at first before the company really took off and the latter was an acquisition)
