^ Still do, even just to hear the Kelethin music or to run from Kelethin to Erudin. I may just do that this weekend…
However, money is not the biggest issue because we saved and planned for this effort. It's exactly what was written "The Tradeoff" section that's the biggest difficulty with not working with VCs. We constantly see competitors and semi-competitors in our industry posting on LinkedIn about recent fund raising rounds, new contracts, acquisitions, etc. and every post seems to have 1000s of likes. Obviously it's not all due to VC support, but that community and network really does help (and is enticing).
It's funny... in my industry people seem to have forgotten that you can build a company without taking VC. It feels like our customer base equates small business with any new business even if that company has taken $250M of VC.
