Thoughts on bootstrapping and pursuing non-VC funding to build a software startup? Trying to think creatively re fund raising and recognize there are multiple paths to building a company, and all paths don't lead to VCs. Pros and cons?

Big pro on bootstrapping is flexibility. You can take your time to figure it out and get things right AND THEN take VC if it’s the right move. Once you take VC it’s hard to get off the hedonic treadmill of it.

Love this. Having the time to find early product market fit, especially in a quiet market, is super appealing to me. Don’t want unnecessary pressure and just want to build and iterate directly with customers.
