Your comments yesterday are appreciated but the asking for angel investors just seems a bit odd. If you feel investment distorts a market and that is bad, then every market is like this and in your view is bad. Beyond that investment is not a lottery in anyway.
We have built Grasshopper Group over 7 years with NO outside capital at all. I am all for talking with competitors and love many of them, but your view of "sugar daddies" and "investment lottery" is just wrong and makes you look bad.
- ntalbott 16y agoQuoting myself: "Capital infusion causes market distortion. Not saying that's a bad thing, but it's worth recognizing." If this comes off as an attack on Grasshopper Group - my apologies. I think what ya'll have done is pretty impressive, and I'd like to duplicate it myself. At the same time - Chargify wouldn't have ever gotten into the situation of supporting so many unsustainable free users if it (as a stand-alone product) was bootstrapped. That's all I'm saying. Calling that a "sugar daddy" was probably overly inflammatory.
