On: How we bootstrapped our SaaS to $1M ARR

[tr33house]

It's ridiculously hard to get to $1M ARR. ScrapingBee seems to be in the sweet spot where you don't have to work as hard to keep things running so it can be ran `forever` with a small team. This is no small feat and should be celebrated.

All the best!

Boy this resonates. Not every business needs to "change the world" and IPO with a valuation of $10 Billion.

There are thousands of small businesses out there that provide a quality service, and generate good revenue, and pay their founders and employees amazing sums of money.

Love it.

Thanks a lot for the kind words.

This is a blanket statement and it’s very wrong.

Know better than to look at revenue versus profit. Then again, Silicon Valley seems to have long since given up on that idea!

Right, sure, silicon valley doesn't know how to turn a profit.

Is that what I said? I don't think that's what I said.

What I actually meant to say was that SV investing has ignored profit and looked at revenue for a while now.
