BOOTSTRAPPING

I bootstrapped UiPath from a Bucharest apartment for ten years. Then in three years we went from unknown to a $35 billion company. Patience has a way of compounding.

Coming from Romania was an advantage. We didn't have Silicon Valley overhead. We could build enterprise software at a fraction of the cost while the market matured.

We bootstrapped from Columbus, Ohio to $100 million in revenue without a single dollar of Silicon Valley money. Not bad for a company that VCs said was too simple to fund.
