The idea that once you launch your product you shouldn't need funding doesn't seem intuitive to me. Sure writing code is hard, but there is a lot that goes on after your initial launch, and a lot of these things cost money (like sales, marketing, etc.).

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I'm not against funding. It just seems like getting fund to start up, and then additional funding after you've launched seems odd. Sales, marketing, etc, should be covered with the initial investment. Needing more money just sounds like poor planning or foresight.
