Four to five, Mohamed, how do you survive on four to five hours?

Yeah, I think when you keep on hitting those great numbers, you know, you have this adrenaline rush, you hardly get to sleep.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
vFairs Breaks $30m ARR bootstrapped, turns down $500m Offer

I would like to believe that, yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
vFairs Breaks $30m ARR bootstrapped, turns down $500m Offer

I think I don't think so.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

When I look at others like Intrado, SixConnect, Hopin, I think each one of them is no longer bootstrapped.
