Is this article arguing that startups should seek VC simply for the sake of seeking VC? I'm exceedingly paranoid about giving up control of my business-- I want my customers and employees treated a certain way, I want my service to be presented and available on my terms (which goes back to how I treat my customers.)
If I can bootstrap, keep customers happy, keep employees paid (and content), keep my company and my money ... then why do I need VC?
Edit: I re-read it with a different ... attitude. Perhaps the author oversells the disadvantages of bootstrapping. Ownership is enough of an advantage for me personally. Dealing with the disadvantages keeps me nimble and, believe it or not, innovative.
