What is the biggest bootstrapped company?
I'm currently building a business based on a groundbreaking idea in a huge market. It already has some traction.
I wonder how big it can become without raising money.
Are there any examples of companies that became really big while being profitable from day 1?
- pccampbell 11y agoPlenty of examples to think about, but I suppose it depends on your definitions of really big: 1. Atlassian became very large before raising money, Github too 2. Litmus is a pretty large company, but not Billion dollar club (which is the typical "really big" moniker 3. Dyn was pretty huge $50M/year+ before they raised money
- wha 11y agoThanks. If there are any audio interviews/stories out there about these companies, I would love to listen to those.
