Interesting story of Hyper-funded DigitalOcean vs Bootstrapped Linode
- gramakri 7y agoWow, didn't realize linode is bootstrapped. How did they manage to build so many cloud centers with no investment? Do you know more of their story?
- jgalentine007 7y agoProfit margins back in the day were a lot better than they are now. I started a web hosting company back in 99' as a high school senior with a couple hundred dollars, bootstrapped it to half a million in a couple years, and then over a million by year 10 (and sold it!) At that point margins had gotten skimpy and AWS with all their backing was eating up the market.
