@jboutelle makes some good points, especially wrt deal making. I'd definitely focus on that side of your past experience. Do you have any experience outside of bootstrapping?

Yes, I have 7 years of experience in real estate development and finance. I have no problem characterizing these accomplishments as they are so straightforward.

Now, all of the sudden, I don't know what to say about the last 3 years of startup work, esp since these sites were in the ramen/lobster profitable realm, not the multi-million dollar I'm-on-a-boat realm....

I've never heard the term "lobster profitable." What does it mean?

If they become any less profitable, their investors have the right to boil them alive and eat them with lemon and drawn butter.

I'm guessing it means you can afford a lobster dinner. no?
