I'm happy for the one dev who's been lone rangering as I hope it means he's finally getting paid, but the pressure is going to be on to get an ROI.

If he was not being paid before it means he had not built a sustainable business. That means changes will need to come in the future to do that.

If he had a sustainable business and took the VC funding it means he has grander ambitions. That will mean change as well.

No matter how you look at it there will be change coming. Fueled by people who want a return on their investment.

Doesn’t necessarily mean change will come to the current offering; acquisitions can happen because new or enhancing existing product lines (like enterprise) are in the future.

Insane radical idea: Businesses can actually make a profit by having income higher than expenses. You can pay yourself that way.

What does "make a profit" mean? Is that the money from IPO? Or money laundering? Idgi

Heresy!

It is possible to build a profitable business without investors or venture capitals, you know.
