Does "bootstrapped" include "investors begging to throw money at it"? or purely self-made?

- antoinec 12y agoTo me, the strict definition would be "purely self made". But I guess it's reasonable to say that a company that has been around and very successful for 8 years, without external investment , is bootstrapped.
- chatmasta 12y agoThe question asks for billion dollar bootstrapped companies. Almost by definition, if a company is worth a billion dollars, investors will be "begging to throw money at it." :)
