optimal -- yes, and this was my longstanding position. I have had a lot of bugs put in my ear like "if you just took some funding, this could explode very fast, speed of acquiring customers will be key". I fall somewhere in the middle: I think it's a good idea to take a _small_ amount of funding to get some sales hounds on board, because I can't do sales by myself and I'm not a fantastic salesman. The product has been winning so far based on its own merit -- competition is really terrible, and people are hearing about it word of mouth and contacting me.
