Five Reasons I Should Bootstrap My Startup
Five reasons I should bootstrap my startup
One of the most successful companies I’ve worked with, Gateway Genomics, started with an initial investment of just $80,000, bootstrapping to a $100 million exit. My point is this: You don’t have to raise venture capital to have a successful startup.
That’s what today’s video is all about. I share with you the five reasons you might be better off bootstrapping instead of raising venture capital funding. I hope you like it.

Why Startup Investors Reject Most Investments
My business potential is too small to get funding, 100k to 1 million interests nobody so I'm going Solo.
Best of luck!
so the money invested by the investors are paid back in terms of equity and no need of paying it back? Pls elaborate !!
That's the way venture funding works. You give up a percentage of your company. The investors are betting they will make at least 10X to 30X on their investment over time when the company is sold or goes public.
100% AGREE! I'm not a fan of VC's, and would like to avoid them at all costs. We need to raise funding for a dozen manufacturing shops across the USA, so it's time to get creative with the financing. 🍷🍷😎
Glad you liked the video. Best of luck on your fundraising.
Well done, for your content creation
Thanks Christian!

This video is just what we needed, Brett! Thanks a ton for sharing these insights. You never disappoint with the quality of your content! Over here at PuntoOK, we're kicking off fully bootstrapped in Latin America, in a country where VC activity is quite limited. Your video opened our eyes to the possibilities of forging ahead without VC funding, a route we hadn’t seriously considered before. Now, we're seriously considering exploring this path and see where it leads us! Can't wait to see what other insights you'll share next. Keep inspiring us entrepreneurs!
Glad to be of help, Jorge!

Dear Sir, much respect to your content. It's really good, articulate and informative. I want to know, how do you identify potentially good startup investments from bad ones
Thanks for the question. I look at the CEO. If I believe in the CEO, then I'll go to the next step. If I don't believe in the CEO, I'm out.

I been working on this idea, and every time I tell myself, it can get better, it gets better. I'm retired over 60, feel great, most days. I'm filing for my, D.B.A, this month. I'm planning to avoid mistakes I seen other people made. People can see the result with their eyes. All I'm doing on is putting all the building blocks in place. Since I'm not getting paid, it shouldn't affect my SS. Looking at a leasing-5 years, to purchase 25 or 30 acreages, as a partnership. When other parts of the projects are done. I will let the customers, weekly involvement and positive anticipation. To be the factor, to expand. I already have a group of people that will benefit. That I will be pitching the idea to soon.
My design is efficient and 100% visible from 2- HWYs.

Thanks it's really helpful
Can you tell me why at 10:20 it would be an exception to set a price when you have a smaller set of angel investors?
Actually, what I said was if you're raising money from 10 angel investors, you're better off setting the price. The reason is that when you have a large syndicate of investors, it's like herding cats. It would be chaos to try and find a lead investor in this situation, so you're better off just setting the price.
Lots of useful points here, answered many Qs that I had. Thx!
I learned how to hire people with like-minded character and motivation.
100%! Thanks John.
Is the valuation based on the percent the founder got diluted, OR the percent the whole company got diluted?

WHEN THEY BUILD TRUCK STOP'S THEY (NEVER) TALK TO THE TRUCK DRIVER. FOR THE 10 MOST IMPORTANT things, and WHAT THEY DON'T NEED FIRST. DON'T NEED A RESTAUWANT, till 2 years at best. Drivers don't need concrete parking lot let the ground settle for 3 or 4 years. Drivers, driving from Florida to California, will take 2-years JUST TO EVEN BE RECOGNIZE YOU. Most important is it easy to get in and out safely, can you get the food fast, is the place safe to park. IS the food healthy, or just pass on it.
I wrote a letter to City Hall in Frog City, Louisiana. Telling they need to build a truck stop. 2- years later they build one. But it always takes time for the trucks to show-up. They had a new restaurant, that had to close down. For being too early, I even talk to the manager. Rayne Louisiana, HWY-10, 35.
