How about bootstrapped startups?

• ahomescu1 12y ago
  Those are what I meant when I mentioned founders' savings, and I agree that they are risky: > there are some startups funded by the founders' own savings or mortgages, which is a big risk EDIT: Sorry, I now realize you meant startups that grow from their own income (or am I still misunderstanding?). Those don't seem very risky to me, since there's not much high gains/high losses potential to them.

  In my experience, which may or may not be representative of the general case, bootstrapped and profitable startups with no funding often don't offer equity at all to employees.
