Maybe you should change the headline to "We work a 4-day week and have 10,000 paying customers". I don't equate raising money with success. 10k paying customer

I don't equate raising money with success. 10k paying customers speaks for itself.
- pbreit 14y agoRaising money is absolutely a milestone on the journey to success. Congrats to Treehouse on raising the funding necessary to continue expanding the business and delighting customers. Bollocks to the haters who have no clue on how to build a business.
- outside1234 14y agoi think the point is that raising money and building a business are orthogonal. some businesses need external capital. some don't.
- bira 14y ago"Raising money is absolutely a milestone on the journey to success." Go tell that to DHH :) I personally like it more this way: "Profiting is absolutely a milestone on the journey to success." Different perspectives, I guess. No hate.
- pbreit 14y agoThe difference is I agree that both funding and profiting are milestones on the success journey. Whereas the person I responded to apparently does not. And it's not clear that you do either.
