Furry fandom came and found us. We were publishing a little zine that just happened to have anthropomorphic animals (along with humans and aliens) and had no idea there was an active fandom until they found our zine and flooded us with subscription requests.
And it was some of them who introduced our then-editor to GEnie (this was in the days before the web, but not before the net) where we found more people. And things just snowballed.
