Yes, but the author is using "bootstrapped" in the past tense. i.e. a founder who was bootstrapped but might be willing to take money that didn't have a ton of strings and a set of "okay, now roll the dice on rocket growth with a do or die deadline" marching orders attached.

Sure, sometimes you have bootstrapped companies that turn into VC-backed hypergrowth companies but there seems to be a shift away from "grow or die" for bootstrapped companies taking funding.
