This quote spoke to me:
> "Unspace was a convenient umbrella; an excuse for three friends with complimentary skill sets to share a small office"
In a lot of ways my company right now is just an excuse for me and my best friend to build cool software together and have our own office. It just turns out the money is coming with it and we are able to build a real business out of it.
We've had chances to raise money and grow but we know deep in our hearts it's not what we want. It was hard to be "okay" with this because everyone throws the VC stuff at you and makes you think you should be "going big" and killing yourself at 25. Understanding and being confident that we could still be a "big", important, and profitable company in our space by doing it "our way" has been a really big milestone of our personal and professional growth.
Great post.

"Kevin, making movies isn't about getting together with your friends and having a good time!" [Pauses] "It isn't?"
