It's only a lifestyle business if they aren't interested in hyper-growth & all

Otherwise, "just" spending less than you make and trying to make it on their own only makes them bootstrapped, don't you think?

Its hard to find investors if you aren’t interested in hyper growth. The financial risk that the company will go out of business is the same but the expected returns are a lot lower. That just doesn’t make sense from an investors standpoint from a risk/reward vantage point.
