Don't you think that bootstrapping is much better than taking a fund? But, still why is everyone leaning towards funding rather than bootstrapping? From my understanding, people have fear, lack of resources, and validation. What is your opinion? People use investors as validators, who provide opinions, resources, and reduce their fear, but this idea of getting someone else's funds is tricky. If your business goes down, Aftermath would be layoffs and investors backing out, then it's bye-bye to your business.

Bootstrapping gives control, while funding offers speed and support. People choose funding to grow faster, but it comes with risks and investor involvement.

for most start-ups yes. Imo funding should be raised when your idea really had a huge potential to grow or else it's not worth it for investors

Bootstrapping does build more control and it’s not easy, but it can lead to a stronger, more sustainable foundation if you manage well.
