It seems to me that any "bubble" which exists is on the funding side, I'm not seeing a ton of seemingly irrational exits (which is the strange thing about this "bubble")

Seems to me the smart play is to try to get as much startup funding as you can right now, build a really long runway and a huge, sustainable company.

Interesting. So you're saying to capitalize on the money which is being made available. I was wondering what the pros and cons of this are.

I agree that the bubble exists on the funding side. When you take investments aren't you then participating and abiding by the rules of the bubble?

I was wondering if staying away from the funding (bootstrapping maybe) would let you make decisions that didn't include pressure from the bubble.
