I joined a bootstrapped SaaS several years ago in a niche domain. They were making 10x that again in MRR, growing rapidly and still 100%-owned between the 2 founders. VC's knocked on their door every week but they had their own vision for growth.

Don't be afraid to walk your own path.

How were the VCs aware of the MRR of a private company ? I'd assume some external indicator like position in the app store, but outside of that, I'm curious how'd they know ?

It's a B2B product in the FinTech space. UK-registered so their accounts are public.
