I bootstrapped my first company to several million and revenue by doing contract work on the side. Later, I decided to use the money from my bootstrapped company to launch another startup. Once we got some traction I decided to take company #2 the VC route. 0/10 would not recommend! :-) I'm working on a blog post about why bootstrapping can be much better for founders.
I'm in a similar position; company #1 is successful and now running without me and I'm switching focus to company #2 and considering the VC route as this business has appropriate scalability. I'm quite interested to hear why you are 0/10 on going that route. Will you be posting that to the facet blog or how can I ensure I see that when posted?
