Title: I run a small, bootstrapped SaaS making 15K MRR or so. It&#x27;s the most money I&#x27;ve ever made, in a domain I&#x27;m passionate about. I don&#x27;t come from means or have a prestigious background; I feel like much of my success has just been luck and grit. I&#x27;m not a great business person, but I care deeply about product, development, and my customers.<p>I am sometimes contacted by eager megacorp M&amp;A departments and VC funds, but... Is it weird that I don&#x27;t want to do any of that?<p>I&#x27;m enjoying the lifestyle of &quot;solve client&#x27;s problem, client pays me money, innovate, iterate&quot;. It probably won&#x27;t last forever, but it&#x27;s simple and it feels authentic. The megacorps and VCs I&#x27;ve spoken to want to turn up the heat and take the business to the moon, planet-scale growth or self-destruct---I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s what I want. I&#x27;m sure my potential acquirers or VC-funded competitors will build it with or without me eventually but... I don&#x27;t think I give a shit.<p>Am I being a weirdo? Some of my more &quot;Silicon Valley&quot;-type friends think I&#x27;m nuts.
