"Should You Raise Funds or Bootstrap? Here’s a Reality Check." Raising funds sounds glamorous—big checks, investor clout, fast growth. But it’s a trade-off. You get cash but lose equity and often control; investors expect results, not excuses. Bootstrapping’s slower—every rupee’s yours, scraped from sales or savings. It forces discipline, but one bad month can sink you. Reality check: funding buys speed, not success; bootstrapping builds resilience, not ease. Pick based on your goals—scale fast with help or own it all and grind. Neither’s right, just what fits you.
