This is old news, but I was reminded again by it about:
1. Doing enterprise/business apps mean u can self sustain without VC
2. A simple product like online survey can still have a robust business model and value where people will pay for it
3. An established company that raised large round of funding, or is preping for IPO, is more proactively looking for acquisition targets.
