I partly agree with you. I think being an entrepreneur is like having a child. The entrepreneur needs to do what it takes right from the conception to exit (when he/she can be on hos own) to make sure the baby is safe and healthy. I totally agree with not getting outside funding as long as you can manage without it. However, timing is everything for a startup. As you proceed with the journey, a lot of competitors will emerge. At that time if you don't accelerate (doesn't always mean VC funding) they will. IMO while running a startup you need to do whatever it takes to keep your startup healthy and safe or you will be killed or eaten. PS - I had a couple of UX suggestions, not sure how I can send them to you. Prateek,

Every entrepreneur should cool down while judging themselves. They have probably achieved more than most others Very interesting thought. Every entrepreneur should cool down while judging themselves.

Why is that suddenly anything less than a few million dollars stopped making sense to people? Running a sustaining web business, as DHH says is not like the neighbourhood Mom & Pop store counting pennies. These days unless you talk about a few million dollars or buy-outs you are considered a businessman, not an entrepreneur. I cant agree more on this.
