A good answer, though I sense a bit of sarcasm/contempt in there!
Maybe the OP is only familiar with the negative aspects of taking outside investment, and is perfectly comfortable with bootstrapping (and has a venture that can be successful with bootstrapping alone). Given that, it seems that it might be fairly difficult to see why people would take VC money.
- mindcrime 16y agoA good answer, though I sense a bit of sarcasm/contempt in there! Yes, I tend to be a bit sarcastic by nature. Too much time spent watching British television and hanging out with Brits, I suppose. Or maybe it's just genetic, who can say about such things. Actually the original post struck me as almost a bit trollish itself, although maybe I just misread it. So yeah, maybe my response a bit snippier than usual. <shrug /> FWIW, I'm bootstrapping my own startup at the moment, and am very leery of taking outside capital. But I'm certainly open to the possibility if the situation dictates it. The thing that would be nice, would be being able to work on the project full-time, not just nights and weekends (outside of the $DAYJOB.) That's the one area - in particular - that makes it very tempting to start trying to raise money.
