The VC model isn't the only game in town. If the revenue was predictable and stable, you could just as easily obtain a line of credit (debt financing) without giving up any equity a la VCs.

Reasonable point. There are lower cost sources of capital. My impression is that many banks are still nervous about lending to SaaS startups if the GAAP metrics don't look great.

This may be why PE companies are getting into the game lately.
