Sleepycat Software operated for eight years without venture capital before Oracle acquisition
“Sleepy Cat was the company that commercialized Berkeley DB in 98, and we ran that company entirely independent, no venture capital the old-fashioned way. We would make money and then we would spend it for eight years. We sold the company to Oracle in 2006”
