Hi Abs,

I don’t have much idea about VC funding, beyond the information available online .. We personally are not going for it so we have not researched much. I am sure you can go a quick google search and find stuff

Best of luck

Hi Abs,

Thanks for your comment. We plan to be profitable in the next 6 months or lesser. We are already on a dedicated server and we are already operationally breakeven (which we means we can pay our server rent + home-office rent with what we make).

@Abhinav: Thanks for the comment. However, I don’t see a connection between what I have written about and the post you have linked to. May be you can explain?
