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

Exactly, that's the point I’m trying to make! If you want to build a business where you're the one calling all the shots, where you're the decision-maker, then bootstrapping is the way to go. And I’m not saying it in a negative light, but you need that control. In funding, that doesn’t happen. When someone invests, they’re taking on a lot of the risk, so why would they give you full control over your business? Of course, there are investors who allow more freedom, like first-round investors, but that’s not always the case. And managing that relationship is tough. That’s why most people don’t bootstrap—it’s hard, especially when you have to invest years of your own savings. But that’s the reality. Bootstrapping is a different kind of challenge, but it’s more about having full control over your vision.
