It's not a seed round if you're making $600,000 a year.

You could stop all development, fire every expensive person apart from some basic cheap support staff, and be wildly rich in a couple of years just from that.

What don't you get?

In a couple of years you'd be a millionaire and richer than virtually anyone in the world. And in a few more you'd be a multi-millionaire and richer than virtually any American.

If you want to carry on working for 10 years to try and become a billionaire, which will almost certainly not happen, go for it.

No reason to assume I don't get something here. Learn to leave room for your own ignorance and blind spots.

600k/y doesn't make you a millionaire in a year or two, especially in SV, no matter how hard you try. And it certainly doesn't qualify you as "wildly rich".
