Building a real business remotely, without venture capital
A talk by Jake Peters
CEO, HelpDocs
CEO, HelpDocs
In a world of huge VC rounds, multi-million dollar exits and a churn-and-burn approach to growth, it's easy to forget that businesses are supposed to (at some point) make money.
Over the last 2 years I've rejected (and been rejected by) more VCs than I can I remember, acquired a competitor, and turned down some seriously large acquisition offers.
All in the pursuit of a business that I actually want to run. One that supports our fledgling team, and that I enjoy coming to work at every day.

Loved this talk. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing the experience of starting and growing HelpDocs as a bootstrapped company. I have to say I LOVE the content marketing you guys are doing. I always get something out of your articles :)
