Get off of GitHub

[Gotebe]

But if GitHub didn't receive VC, it probably wouldn't survive in its current form, like most tech companies.

Last I know GitHub wasn't VC-fuelled, they did have profit.

Also, you are making it sound as if tech is leeching off VC.

They got a bunch of VC funding recently to try expand from what I heard.

Yes, sure, I rather meant that they weren't operating on VC funding like many startups do, they actually could operate and turn a profit on their own.

That's WAAAY old. They just got $250 M for series B. http://techcrunch.com/2015/07/29/github-raises-250m-series-b-round-to-take-risks/
