Besides the US no other country is so picky about "sexist" comments. This is a completely normal attitude in other cultures and not sexist at all (for them, might still be sexist for you).

Thank you. Everyone who seeks funding should probably understand this.

We are fine in terms of money, I just had this (misguided) idea that getting funding now helps me to be even less involved in the project but since my decisions made this a success I think we really look to sell the whole thing.

Before we do this we will keep growing it for a little longer and try to make everyone replaceable. It doesnt matter much for us anyway. We just want to get done with the making money part of our life and will get there regardless if we sell or not until the end of the year.

That's where our unfair advantage comes in. We know already some companies who work on replicating what we do and they have good chances to make this happen, but...

- Our product is hard to replicate and this will take them time and give them a lot of headache. We know some companies gave up.

- We build our own competitor in the same niche right now (under different leadership but I still hold control) so we cover the first and second spot in it. They are talented and can copy us first. So if people want choice they will get that.

- We dominate the conversation and have some things in place that ensure it will stay like this.

Regardless of all this, I'm fine if we would loose the top spot because the market is growing so fast that even a smaller piece of the pie is a decent sized one and we keep the whole operation extremely lean and focused so we we will stay profitable no matter what.

Thanks, that was interesting.

For us its life work balance. I just started a small game studio because that's what I really like to do. It's already a retirement project, sort of, because I only have to make the strategic decisions for our business and someone else is handling all day to day business and scaling the company. I just dont want to abandon the game studio project now just to make some investors happy. We have positive cash flow anyway.

Yes you are absolutely right. We just put things into place step by step to make it more sellable. We still have team members that can't be replaced but work on changing this.

Thanks a lot! I also spoke with a friend who already received funding and we will simply keep growing our own way but also work with some lawyers who go out and find a buyer for the company.

Super interesting. Any chance you share some of the source code?

Every decision requires willpower. Doing things without thinking (making habits out of them) saves your willpower for other valuable things you have to do.
