Exactly, that's the point Iโ€™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 Iโ€™m not saying it in a negative light, but you need that control. In funding, that doesnโ€™t happen. When someone invests, theyโ€™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 thatโ€™s not always the case. And managing that relationship is tough. Thatโ€™s why most people donโ€™t bootstrapโ€”itโ€™s hard, especially when you have to invest years of your own savings. But thatโ€™s the reality. Bootstrapping is a different kind of challenge, but itโ€™s more about having full control over your vision.
