We are a growing tribe of serious startup founders who are building valuable software companies without big VC funding.
Practical founders are winning the startup game our way with successful exits of $10M, $20M, $50M, or more when we sell our companies, if we ever choose to sell.
Most new founders think VC funding is the only way to go because the massive VC-Industrial Complex dominates tech media and startup ecosystem events in search of a few billion-dollar unicorns.
Moonshot VC investing isn’t bad or wrong. It’s just not the best way for most startup founders to create valuable software companies and maximize their results.
There has never been a better time to be a practical founder.
Nearly 40% of all software companies are self-funded and bootstrapped with no outside funding. And another 30% have just a little funding from friends and friendly investors.
The companies are growing deliberately and efficiently with revenue from customers.
