Has anyone made a list of the companies that “got big slow”? Thinking of Shopify, 1Password, Craigslist, Minecraft, Squarespace. These are multibillion dollar operations — not lifestyle businesses in the standard sense. But they didn’t take much/any outside capital for a while.

The decision to sell some of your company for investment is often expressed as “rich vs king”. Make more money, or have more control. But perhaps another axis is time commitment. If willing to spend 15+ years on the same thing, you can build a big co without outside money.

Some companies need to spend 5 years working full time on the product before making enough money to pay the people/pay for equipment.
