Over the past 12 months, I spoke to more than 50 top-tier VC firms about investing in my $22M ARR SaaS company.
After a full year of pitches, term sheets, and big promises...
I walked away from every single one and decided I would NEVER take VC money.
Most people would say this is insane.
But this was one of the best decisions of my founder career.
So I just recorded a video, going over the 7 reasons why I chose to stay bootstrapped, why taking VC money would have been catastrophic for my business and what this means for you.
I show you:
Why dividends beat lottery tickets (and how I'm banking $1M/month in profit)
The harsh truth about investor "value-add" (spoiler: it's mostly BS)
Why a new seat at the table destroys companies
How investors play a portfolio game while you're all-in on ONE bet
Why I don't believe in spreadsheets or metrics
