Is it better to bootstrap or seek VC funding for your startup? The endless debate: Bootstrap vs. VC funding. - Bootstrapping builds resilience and deep customer focus. You prioritize solving real problems over chasing valuations. - VC funding can accelerate growth rapidly but often comes with strings attached. You're accountable not just to your vision but to investors' expectations. Here's the kicker: Atlassian, a $50bn+ tech giant, bootstrapped for 8 years and turned to VCs only when acquisitions became necessary for growth. Choose wisely. Bootstrapping should be the default. VC funding? A deliberate choice. What's your take?
