bootstrapping vs raising venture capital

Uitvoer (fragment)

1. You hit $2M ARR with six people — what would have broken if you'd raised a seed round instead? 2. Build-in-public can attract copycats. What did you choose NOT to share, and why? 3. What's a contrarian belief about funding you held that turned out to be wrong? 4. Walk me through the scariest cash-flow month and the decision that saved you. 5. If a founder DMs you tomorrow asking 'raise or bootstrap?', what's your real answer?
