Founders

more founders should burn their own money / be resourceful with grants and revenue BEFORE raising any / big funds — believe this ACTUALLY increases your chance of 'success'.

when you're bootstrapping, you tend to be way more scrappy and resourceful — simply because you have no other choice. don't ask investors to sponsor your idea maze — sponsor it yourself and pitch when you're ready. even better — attract, don't chase.

the way you attract is by being resourceful and building great product people want. as the saying goes, BE SO GOOD THEY CAN'T IGNORE YOU.

been thinking of you & @pirosb3 as a great example of this — lots of respect.

Doing this right now with Bountycaster! Forces us to prioritize ruthlessly since it's our own money

automod

building /automod, /glass • prev manifold.xyz, twilio.com

same approach im taking with /automod and /glass

Couldn't have said it better
We've been bootstrapping for a long time and i think it helps us to build product faster and be more effective in any ways

well thats why investors who invest earlier take a larger reward, higher risk.

Absolutely, having cash in hand from investors makes founders complacent.
