I'd rather make money from my company in smaller amounts while remaining unfunded than to fork over huge chunks to investors. Even if the overall amount was much less, the percentage of gains would be much higher.
- mildtrepidation 13y agoThe point of investment is acquiring capital to build and/or grow your business. If you don't need that capital, there is no reason to look for investors. There's a gray area when you can build the business on your own and it may or may not take off without further development or marketing. But if you have nothing and you need money you don't have to build something, then you either don't do anything or you look for funds. It gets less simple at that point.
- xacaxulu 13y agoAgreed. I think it's just become a bit easier to say "hey let's get investors" than to look for slower, more sustainable options for growth. The appeal of investor capital is strong and like you said, necessary in certain cases.
