Passion leads, money follows
It's hard to compete with us. Other companies have raised money and are under pressure to hit certain metrics so they can get acquired or go public. We haven't raised a dime. We do things because we care, we're just passionate about building valuable products.
When you're passionate, you care. And when you care, your product gets better. It creates real value. But if your main focus is making more money, you'll eventually get outpaced by someone who's driven by passion. Passion leads. Profit follows.
When you're in it for the right reasons (because you actually care), you build better.
