High Growth and Not VC Backed

Where is the community for founders building these companies? I’m truly inspired by companies like Spanx, Chick Fil A (minus their belief system), and HEB (grocery stores in Texas). THAT’S what I want to build. Is anyone doing this well right now? I don’t want to believe that VC is the only way to grow fast.
VC is definitely not the way to go for everyone. Those founders are around you may want to look for what the industry generally refers to as "lifestyle business".
There's Tiny Seed Accelerator for Bootstrappers, Zebras Unite and Earnest Capital (where founders can repay equity investment as a percentage of the profits). I think it also really depends on your business model - some companies can make revenue much more quickly (selling items) than others (relying on ads, which requires a larger network). Hope that's helpful!https://tinyseed.com/https://zebrasunite.coop/https://earnestcapital.com/
