Ask HN: Is it okay to just bootstrap it, even when VCs are knocking?
Building a bootstrapped business (i.e. NOT taking venture capital) is a rare skill. I would keep on building without outside capital if you can continue to build growth. If you hit a ceiling (without growth) then you may want to consider looking for/accepting outside capital.<p>As soon as you accept VC funding, there are basically 3 outcomes for your company. Getting acquired, going public (if that's an option where you are) or going bankrupt.<p>If you can keep growing without VC funding, I'd keep doing that.
