- "We can make a decent salary out of this" - 36 months - 48 months
I started and 10 years later made a successfully exit from my company, we never raised any money, the above figure is what it took us to go from financing our development our self (by having two jobs), to having enough customers to break even.
I think everyone should, bootstrap one company to get a feel for how it is, will make you a better entrepreneur.
- simonswords82 9y agoExactly the same setup as you, although I've not sold my company as I'm a happy owner (https://www.atlascode.com https://www.atlascode.com). I launched Atlas in 2007, just one year prior to the economic crisis that followed. Nothing ensures that you keep an eye on every bill that is paid and focus ruthlessly on efficiency gains more than a global financial catastrophe. Getting through that taught me I was capable of running an already tough business under pretty much any circumstances, and gave me an incredible confidence boost. Not that I'd recommend it, definitely some of the toughest years of my working career.
