I totally agree. In fact, that's the entire reason we didn't raise venture capital, because that would have forced an 'exit' (which typically means an acquihire/getting shut down). I'm sick of seeing otherwise good businesses ruined because they raised VC without a good reason to. Our goals are modest, we're just trying to create a sustainable business. We're currently half-way towards profitability, and are on track to be profitable by the end of the year.
