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.
