Self-funded. How do you keep yourself motivated? I love what I am doing and believe in its potential for success. It's that simple. Of course, there are ups and downs, but that seems more along the lines of the other thread. Why do you guys believe that this is the right way to go? I think it is very case by case. In this case, I'm lucky to be able to self-fund this stage. And I'm not ruling out investment later on if there is a defined plan I want to pursue that calls for it. At this stage, I don't need outside funding and I can accomplish the rapid prototyping piece myself at a relatively fast pace. I wouldn't have been opposed to a co-founder, but I didn't have the right one at the time, and so I moved on it myself.
