Excellent interview.

> Peldi started Balsamiq on nights and weekends, and now it’s supporting half a dozen families.

If that is not a real, tangible definition of a successful startup, I do not know what one would be.

Yes .. also I love how Balsamiq used the word 'lifestyle business' in such a positive way. I have only heard it as a way to write off bootstrapped startups otherwise.

Same here.when I started 2 years I did want to do lifestyle business, but 6 months later realised that phrase Has different meaning for different folks.
