"At the time we took a vow of sobriety, agreeing as a team that we wouldn’t have a drink of alcohol until we reached profitability."
I did the same thing with a more aggressive goal, but then when that day came I realized I didn't actually want to drink. I'm impressed you guys didn't lose that desire.
love this attitude. sure they could have sought fast growth from the beginning, but sometimes proving that you are a legitimate company first speaks a lot to these guys commitment to growing tweaky into something great.
Nitpick: They didn't break the vow, they satisfied the conditions for its cessation, so it ended. Breaking implies that they drank before becoming profitable.
In the morning you eat breakfast or cessationfast? It goes both ways. I suppose since it's common for breaking vows to be a euphemism for cheating in a marriage, you have the modern colloquial meaning.
Or maybe he was implying that they "smashed" their sobriety. Zing!
Congrats guys! It feels amazing when you build something people want, they pay you for it, and you can build a real business from it. Best of luck going forward!

Prior to this I probably went out for drinks 2 or 3 nights a week. One to 4 drinks in a night, sometimes more.
It's definitely a sometimes food for me now.
Nice work Ned and team
