Ask HN: How much did you invest in your bootstrapped startup?

Re:Ask HN: How much did you invest in your bootstrapped star... by chadyj on Monday May 14, 2012 @12:55PM (#3971882)

I have invested $70k, and spent around $15k so far over the last few months.

I am a unique case because I am also applying for a E2 Investor visa, and $70k was the number recommended by my immigration attorney to satisfy the visa application. If I didn't have that requirement I would have spent less on legal fees and hopefully would have launched the MVP for around $10k. I still haven't launched, but am about to start a closed beta program.

Would love to get in touch with you regarding the visa application. Got an email?

I would also like your email. I'm incredibly surprised that your attorney considers $70k enough, all the attorneys I have talked to have said upwards of $120k~.

Very interested to hear how it goes!
