A business exists for its clients. If you reject an acquisition I hope you did it for your clients and not to feed your own ego.

I disagree. There is no one specification for why a business exists. That's up to the creator/s.

I have customers so I can build. I do not build so I can have customers.

The enjoyment of creation is my motivation, making money comes after that for me. I'll choose poverty over not enjoying what I do but being better off financially (indeed, I've made that choice countless times).

Your approach reverses all of that. Which is fine, but it's not how everybody chooses to live.

HT to you adventured! Don't let the Startup-Industrial Complex tell you what you want to work on and in what way. If you can get to sustainability and live how you wish - do that for your agency and sanity.

There's too much conformity around a group of people who all claim to be mavericks...
