We're bootstrapping 100%. My full-time engineering co-op (required for graduation) pays the bills. I also do marketing and web consulting part-time. And sometimes, my band makes decent money as well. Our startup itself, though, is funded by winning competitions. We've won business plan competitions and we just recently added 1st place at a statewide marketing competition (it's funny when engineering majors beat business and marketing majors at business and marketing). Now we'll be going to Atlanta in April for nationals. Whenever people ask us if we're considering funding, we typically reply that we prefer the type of funding we don't have to pay back, though I couldn't see us turning down a serious offer. Sometimes I think it'd be cool to be able to work on our startup full-time, but I already work on it for probably 6-10 hours a day, so I'm not sure how much we'd really gain.
