It may be possible for you later in life. Most bootstrappers have worked up some wealth via traditional methods like savings, home equity, inheritance, and freelance/consulting work.

VC money and accelerators are primarily for people who dont have the wealth to bootstrap, but who are young and willing to take investors on early.

How in the goddamn fuck do you work up an inheritance?

Maybe you misunderstood me. Some people get an inheritance. Other people have to use their savings.
