Hey, I think both bootstrapping and funding can be correct, but it really depends on how and where you use it. If you're building something purely for the people, not driven by profits, then I’d say go for funding. It helps you focus on your idea without worrying about money. But if you’re building something on your own, without external pressures, bootstrapping is the better choice. When you take funding, you might get caught in the clash of expectations between you and your investors. This can derail your business, as we've seen in some examples. What do you think?
