Events

An odd thing about the media is how "dramatic" news (companies, founders, events) gets the majority of the press.

Successful yet "undramatic" companies/teams/people are rarely considered newsworthy.

So I did an article last year about a collection of "boring" tech companies: https://t.co/FqzsiLmG0I

We hear little about bootstrapped companies, despite bootstrapping being an effective way to get up and running. We cover five successful bootstrapped firms you’ve probably not heard of – until now

Lessons from Bootstrapped Companies Founded by Software Engineers

The article: https://t.co/fmxPW3KHBN

What was interesting:

Several of "successful, but boring" companies were hesitant to even engage! Some passed on this, because they are focused on building (as they should!)

Many don't want press.

Just know this about the media, and news!
