And you're like, this is incredible.

This is mind blowing.

How does it turn into that?

And it's like, well,

compounding takes time.

And I think in entrepreneurship, we're like that kid in middle school where we're like, five years and that's all I get?

Like, no point.

And we fail to look further down the road and be like, oh, but in 10 years, it'll be this.

And that's what I think everyone does with their companies where, say a company like MailChimp.

I don't have their exact numbers.

I'm assuming at this point, based on trends from previous numbers, there's somewhere around $750 million in annual revenue.

Maybe as much as a billion, but probably not quite there yet.

they've been at it for 19 years.

And so when I look at the curve that I'm on with ConvertKit and the curve that MailChimp did, if we were to overlay those two, ConvertKit is far ahead.

Like if we put the start date of the two of them, ConvertKit is far ahead on that curve than MailChimp was eight years into their business.

And I think this is the point where people go like, wow, you've made it with ConvertKit.

You should sell.

You should have sold a while ago.

Like the moment that first hundred million dollar acquisition offer came up, you should have sold and move on to the next thing.

So we haven't had like a crisp, like here's the offer on the table, but like the private equity people show up nonstop, you know?
