    Bootstrapping is a great way to start. Forces a young company to be lean and find customers.

      Except when you have future customers who say they really want your application is, but you cant Bootstrap enough to make the MVP, and customers will not pay until their is a app due to rules

    Very helpful video. I'm watching this at the right time. But my question is How can I get a co-founder?

    Perfect timing Steve! I am going through this right now, wondering if it's the right time. I've built the product (property valuation as a service) and signed up a few customers already but can't grow the business without the "gas". Can I get in touch with you about this?

    Hey steve , founder from India... I love the knowledge that you share with us. I need your help in one of the aspects of go to market.
    My go to market is vertical. But how narrow should it be ??
    Would it be helpful to split test upfront for better penetration ??

    Do I have to return the money to the investor? or give him a share, and would that share be permanent or temporary?

    Quick Question! What may be possible reasons for “VC rejections” even when you have complimentary skills (co-founders), traction and probably even profitability.
