So now "took money from VCs, tried to do the fast growth and over hiring but learned the hard way, and now still on it work with a small team" counts as indie hacking... Who knew? Taking money from VCs is not bad if that is the path you are choosing, I'm just pointing out it is disingenuous to get featured on a site which is all about an alternative slow growth but higher ownership path.
- buboard 8y agoif it shows people that VC is not the optimal path, then it has value for IH too
- topicseed 8y agoI think OP meant that while it may not be ideal for the CEO to have used VCs, it most certainly helped the product itself in terms of resources allocated to build and perfect it. I understand that more cash isn't always the best way to build software, but if the CEO is good (and in this instance, he is) then more cash mostly helped building the current product.
