I love the question you're bringing up. I truly want more companies to make this a goal. A couple I can think of are MailChimp and possibly Atlassian. I believe VC funding is mostly a trap for companies that, while it supplies and can incubate startups, ultimately just leads to more greed and never satiated investors. They'll just keep moving the line of target growth until the company is driven to the ground or, hopefully, it buys itself out of the shackles. Maybe I simply haven't read too many stories of companies doing the latter.
