> The problem with bootstrapping is that eventually you'll hit an inflection point where the viability of the business model starts becoming visible. At that point you'll most likely start attracting competition. Unless it's a niche a business with a small TAM, your competitors will most likely raise VC funding to throw cash at hyper growth in a way you can't while staying cash flow disciplined.
You can choose to take investment then, but it will be on much better terms than your competitors get. It's likely that you'll be able to raise more with less dilution.
Or, you can sell.
