I want to point out this: the costs of startups has dropped considerably, while investors are being tighter with their money. It's sort of a catch22, but I have to throw this "advice" out with the rest because there isn't a single reason for WHY I should actually follow it. Bootstrapping isn't easy, the definition of the name simply implies it, and these kinds of posts are sort of reminding me why, even in the beginning I kind of doubt 37s. Getting Real appears to me a bunch of quotes with "I agree" type paragraphs after it. Can ANYONE here tell me why I shouldn't take money if it's given to me and focus on growing my ideas instead of doing it and taking the results afterwards with a proverbial "grain of salt"?
