> What’s your exit plan for Piktochart as a bootstrapped company?

Hi @arif Good to see you here!

For a bootstrapped founder that has been doing this for 10 years, I can say that there is no exit plan! 🤣

I say this with tongue in cheek. There are several options:

1. Literally to have no exit and run the company for as long as we can.
2. A merger and acquisition - we have previously considered this route in the past because we admired the founders and found good synergy between the products.
3. Find a really good CEO to take over, so this is a founder exit.

I have always advocated ‘living life backwards’ which basically begs the question ‘At my deathbed, what will I regret doing and regret not doing?’. I then do a periodic (yearly) check on where I want to be in terms of both my personal and professional goals.

Hope that answers!
