Small but sustainable startups are not on the media's radar. Simply put, we're boring.

  The good thing is, I don't wake up in a cold sweat not knowing if I'll get Techcrunch coverage today. I wake up knowing I've built a profitable business that can be big (probably not enormous) and more than provide for myself, my team, and our investors. The "lifestyle" business has somehow gotten a bad rap, but there's honestly nothing wrong with creating a sustainable company that makes everyone involved (users included) very happy.

    Kyle, honest question, and feel free to ping me off HN with thoughts, but you raised some money from a few investors if I recall. How do you square knowing your business will "probably not be enormous" with expectations from your investors? I wondered at this when I heard Forrst took investment. I'm a huge fan of niche online communities, but don't see how they could be deserving of investment due to growth limitations.
