The biggest weakness I find of the VC funded route, is it's accidental "Let's get more money so we can build more product" effect. It can delay the all important moment of asking someone give you money for your product's created value. I once worked at a 1 year old company with ~$2 Million in the bank and a fledging product in production. Our board wanted to raise more money to hire more engineers. We didn't need more engineers. We needed a product people wanted to use.
