I see where you're coming from, however I really do believe it is possible to build a great business on a shoestring. I think there is a lot of comfort to be had in having more cash in the bank but not having much sure does focus you on making sure you are delivering a great product that your customers are willing to pay for from day 1. I started my current project on practically nothing, with an idea and cheap rackspace cloud account. A year on we have 5 people, sure it would be great to have the luxury of a large amount of funding but I think running on a budget does have an upside in that it forces you to always focus on customer satisfaction and profitability. Growth is just slower on the organic route and that is the main thing that concerns me.
