Just to nitpick, CD Baby isn't really a VC-backed startup either, right? I've been under the impression Derek bootstrapped it to revenue quickly similarly.

He sold it and they pivoted since. It's hardly the same company at all anymore (Derek's CD Baby was an online record store. A webshop for CDs).
