It all depends on your business model. If it’s scalable, proprietary, Product play then funding makes sense. I don’t think you can build bootstrapped “startups” anymore because of hyper telepathic information exchange. The kammath brothers started way before internet started booming and accessibility wasn’t abundant. If they were to start today, don’t think they would have been able to gain the market share they have today while being bootstrapped. You can build bootstrapped businesses for sure but not startups.
