> How do you know what type of company to start and how much of your own money did you invest when bootstrapping a company. I get random ideas all the time and usually deciding to do a project will lead to something. I started with an idea where I wanted to do web analytics initially. Turns out that people liked my app more for the cool graphs that could be easily exported into slideshows and pdfs. The idea changed a lot from talking to people and I found something I never thought people would pay for.
