worthless article ... if you believe the title.
this has almost nothing to do with bootstrapping per se. i don't know if the author is confused about it or just trying to draw clicks. decidedly untrue statements like 'For the first time in 40 years, the tide is starting to change' and 'when starting an enterprise' don't help. the fact that the specific business being discussed is almost certainly not one that could attract VC money anyway also doesn't help the author.
a title that would make this article more reasonable is 'from side hustle to a viable one-man business in 6 years'.
well, it's not specifically about side hustles either but it is reasonable albeit generic advice for one-man shops (possibly with some replaceable helper employees), for niche services such as skylight installer, gutter installer, ikea assembler, or as in this case, a subscription based marketplace for very tiny yet viable markets that can't be serviced adequately by large platforms.
