seems the world is binary for founders 0 bootstrap 1 venture capital As a bootstrapper, I’m not against outside money or giving ownership away. But is there something between bootstrapping and taking venture capital?

It depends, can be overlap, but generally deal structure, terms, and expectations. Generalizing - VC might want points plus board seats, strategic/structural contingencies, etc seeking 10-100x return over a 5-10 year time horizon. Angel might want a simple deal and OK w a buy out at a quick 2x vs a 10 year hold
