You are planning for failure when you are thinking about an exit instead of the hard work of building something that can last the test of time like Vanderbilts, Rockerfeller and so on.
Much better for you to how you can build your business for the long term not how you can exit… (PS: an IPO is not an exit if you are building for the long term. Its just a new phase of growth).
I’m not thinking about exits for my own company. Just focused on building out the vision of 100,000 world class junior developers in 10 years…
