This is roughly my startup's goal, slow bootstrapping with no VC cash. We also started as an "agency tool" that I built for my business partner. Over time we realized "hey, other folks in the space could use this too". It's been about a year and a half since we came to that realization and were prepping to go live in the next few weeks. I'm really excited for what will happen next year but I'm also have to manage my expectations, and always tell myself "there's no guarantee this will work". The only silver lining to this is also knowing that because we're not taking VC cash and have a low burn, we have more time than most to "figure it out" before the thing goes bust.
