I ask because, "In Startupland, everybody should be working towards the same goal: that big juicy exit," couldn't be further from my mind. I know what that means to me (as does my team) in terms of access to venture funding, but I'm not particularly interested in an "exit". I want to build a service that's beneficial and worth paying for and that is responsive to my customer's needs.

Am I missing something, or do I need to change how I think about what I'm doing?
