A great example of a slow-burn startup. They had a solid product & revenue stream pretty early meaning they could cover costs and just wait as things grew incrementally. Of course that wouldn't work for every product model... some really need that huge capital-driven massive growth to get to some economy of scale. But if you can avoid that, you probably keep a heck of a lot more equity for both founder & early (and maybe not so early?) employees.
