Bootstrapped and Profitable (postmake.io)

This was inspired by Sahil's twitter thread [1] the other day. I included the number of employees along with any relevant blog posts or interviews for each company to provide more context.

Interestingly enough, it turns out Basecamp's founders actually kinda sorta got some money from Jeff Bezos [2] when they were starting out, but apparently the money was never used to fund the company so technically they're still bootstrapped.
