I'm so sick of these arguments. The answer is the same as it is to questions like "what college should I attend?", "what's the best city to live in?" or "who's the smartest person in the world?". It _depends_.
Although I do enjoy hearing someone's individual story or line of thinking, bashing one method over the other is ridiculous.
From my understanding of the capital expenditures/computing power involved, a Company like Heroku pretty much has to take investment of some sort (unless the founders are rich) or risk providing users with sub par performance. Companies like Wufoo not so much. There is no "better" method only a "better fit" for the type of business you have and are trying to run.
- dmix 18y agoI agree completely. Not every business is the same. That should be common sense. But these bloggers (especially 37signals) like to take the extreme side. Some businesses are suitable for VC and some aren't. The founders approach to capital is important, but from a pure business perspective the type of company your building is more important. Theres a workable path in both directions, don't get caught up in taking sides. Follow your passion and idea and adapt. Don't take one-sided advice before you jump in.
