It depends on what the founders want and what the market allows. And sometimes it takes longer than 2 years to grow a significant business.</p><p>There are too many startups that are allowed to die in the name of scaling. Unfortunately the user community or paying customers get screwed in the end .... umm, and the investors too.</p><p>I'm hoping we see more of these entrepreneur-friendly deals.</p>kfreqMon, 27 Jul 2009 20:56:41 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2009/07/27/zivity-ceo-explains-her-new-less-profitable-strategy/#comment-13424613<p>this is where i have like 20 funny things to say to that comment and i don't even know where to start. i guess the funniest, for me, is +1. </p>cyantistMon, 27 Jul 2009 19:48:55 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2009/07/27/zivity-ceo-explains-her-new-less-profitable-strategy/#comment-13424025<p>Silly idea and rich husband make for typical outcome. </p>bookyMon, 27 Jul 2009 19:27:55 -0000
