We're between self-funded and bootstrapped - we put up a small initial monetary investment for servers and whatnot, and evangelized the product as we built it.

We're between self-funded and bootstrapped - we put up a small initial monetary investment for servers and whatnot, and evangelized the product as we built it. That being said, we're working on some big grant opportunities right now (the economic turmoil actually works in our favor to some degree), so I suppose we'll be "funded" soon, though without giving up any equity. Really, there are probably endless ways of mixing and matching these different methods.
