- flyinglizard 5y agoI think bootstrapping is overly romanticized. In many cases those entrepreneurs aren’t good at taking feedback or telling their story or have a lousy idea to begin with. Not to say that it’s not going to work or not admirable, but getting VC money is a very early kind of “product market fit” in the sense that you need to sell people your vision in return for money. I did both bootstrap and VC paths. You can get it wrong in each, but I know that my previous insistence on not taking external money was somewhat rooted in arrogance.
