I'm looking to learn from companies that were started in the last 2 - 3 years that are making at least $1 million a year but didn't take any outside funding.
What companies that are making at least $1 million a year didn’t take funding?

I spent a few years managing a bar that grossed that much. It's not a lot of money for a business.

Are we talking about gross or net here? It isn't clear. But yes, most capital intensive ventures are going to get a big gross.

#6I'm amazed you weren't able to get more responses to this, but after racking my brain it took a bit to come up with one.
How about Threadless? Though I can't seem to find anything that says when they were founded, I'd guess it's about 3 years, but could be more.
37 Signals didn't taking funding until after they were already successful, and of course they've been around for more than 3 years.

threadless was founded in 2000ish. they didn't take money until around 2007ish.
37signals is about the same (time period and what not)
