Read this article this week, and thanks for sharing! We're building Lowdefy and have been bootstrapping for the past 3 years. I'll probably also post an article about this soon, it is definitely a whole different journey, and I often ask myself and the team if it is time to pivot our funding strategy. We're building apps for companies by almost exclusively using our product and iterating as the needs of our clients pushes the boundaries of what the platform can do. Although our medium term objective is to transition into an open-core company, the past few years of building many apps for businesses has exposed us to real world, high value problems. And since our OS community is relatively small still, it gives us the necessary feedback to learn and mature our ideas. The quote, "if you have 6 hours to chop down a tree, spend the first 4 to sharpen your axe" comes to mind - but with that I always wonder what opportunities we are missing because of it. Congrats on the awesome product you guys are building!
