Agreed that success such as yours is not only luck!

But as a co-founder of a SaaS company that has survived over a decade, I would stress that luck* is also part of it.

Many people work very hard at a startup and the thing just crashes and burns, sometimes very quickly. It's not just hard work and being competent at your job - other things outside of your control or influence have to happen to align, too.

* I think "luck" is a pretty good descriptive word for things outside of your control and influence going your way.
