I'm in kind of a unique situation. My last startup was too many founders and gave up all the equity for an early fund raise. So I decided to go solo for this one and bootstrap it.
Since I'm bootstrapping, I haven't had funds to hire anyone. So I've been giving equity to friends to help part-time and then hire contractors for stuff as needed. I've already cut down all expenses to bare minimum.
I'm generating income and almost there on breaking even. I think a couple more decent sized customers will get me there.
I've been doing some consulting and custom dev, which has helped, but it's been as needed type of stuff.
