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? P

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

Yes, you're right. Funding is great when your idea has massive potential and can generate a lot of money. But here's the thing—when you take money from investors, you're also bringing their ideas and expectations into your business. So, when you're building something personal, I’d say don't go for funding. If your idea isn't driven by a huge passion for profit, but you think it can help people and has potential, then start it, get the money, and go ahead. But, be careful—when you accept funding, you're inviting someone else's expectations into your business, and most of the decisions will end up being theirs, not yours. If the idea is truly yours and you’re passionate about it, bootstrap it. When investors enter, their expectations can clash with yours, and it won’t take long to derail your business. The idea is yours, but the money is theirs, and that creates a power imbalance. There are many factors to consider. That’s what I think.
