We're a keygen.sh user for our Modality product at Auxon. It's excellent. Some folks on the team have experience with some of traditional "giants" in the space like Nalpeiron and Flexera. Working with keygen.sh is an absolute joy by comparison. It's not without a few oddities and caveats of its own, but the experience writ large is so incredibly positive that those few issues are easy to forgive and forget. It's really interesting to get some backstage access to how this fantastic product came to be and what underpins the motivating thesis behind it. From one founder (also with little ones and a fantastically supportive partner) to another, my hat's off to you. My many thanks to both you and your partner. Being able to just grab keygen.sh and integrate licensing into our product helped us go from MA to GA in about a week and was also essential in getting some investors over the hump to funding (because we could show traction and an easier path to more of it). As a result, I got to reduce my stress level and spend more time with my kids over the summer.

  Never take on funding or sell. Both of those will result in the death of your business.

    I don't think that's necessarily always true. I do think that it can be very, very dangerous if your business doesn't _exaxtly_ fit whatever the prevailing thesis du jour is for how VCs decide that unicorns are made. The reason I say that is because you're basically dealing with two classes of customers at that point. One for your product and one for your equity, and if there's gross misalignment with either you're going to have a bad time. If the latter fundamentally doesn't understand the former, you'll have a bad time.
