An excellent example of a valuable product that was bootstrapped from the very beginning. It's really a shame that news like this is not more prevalent. We are so accustomed to seeing media highlights of highly glamorized "overnight successes" that we forget that there are plenty of other founders out there who are starting businesses and going through the same struggles and accomplishments.
