| Good point you made. Where did the 30% come from? Whilst I have not kept a list myself, I've seen SaaS products drastically change after acquisitions. Some SaaS products under new ownership stop serving small customers all together and focus on large enterprises. This is as a much risk as shut downs. In terms of Bootstrapped SaaS, what I have noticed since 2004 is that bootstrapped does not mean the companies are operated by a single person. As a bootstrapped SaaS founder, you can start building a team with revenues by hiring team mates. By doing this, you reduce the risk rate for your customers. Until you have revenues to hire talent, you can also bring on free talent from companies like https://skilledup.life. This is my latest tech startup. I have also been building subscription based tech products since 2004 with many failures and two Exits. I bootstrapped them all and continue to do so. The biggest issue I have during all these years is lack of capital to build teams. I'm solving my own problem through SkilledUp Life. My team now includes 2 salaried staff and about 20+ Volunteers. We are one solution. But there are many ways to de-risk a bootstrapped SaaS business. All the best
