[Video | 37signals Founder: A Good Business Model for Small Teams is No Funding, Building Great Software, and Keeping All the Profits] On July 26, 37signals founder David Heinemeier Hansson stated during an appearance on the podcast *David Senra* that entrepreneurship is not limited to the path of 'raising funds, burning cash, and chasing high valuations.' He recalled that 37signals never accepted venture capital but instead built a software company with a small team, a 40-hour workweek, and consistent profitability. In his view, truly outstanding companies don’t necessarily need to scale endlessly; what’s more important is creating real value and retaining profits.
