Given that 37signals don't have investors, why should they care?

(I know that Bezos has tossed some money their way, but the terms were apparently in exchange for his advice, rather than for an eventual exit.)

Not in the traditional startup way. They took some money from Jeff Bezos (in exchange for a little equity) a while back but it was so they could cash out. They didn't need it, and I'm pretty sure Bezos doesn't give a single fuck that they're doing this.

They aren't going to sell out, so Bezos wasn't looking at an exit as a return on his investment (and he doesn't need it either).
