Ask HN: Middle ground between bootstrapping & VC?
We need a small runway ($250K) to get our first customers, but we don't want to take on debt, give up equity or otherwise have an exit strategy. We want a sustainable private company. If we're looking beyond friends and family, who should I reach out to?

Possibly consider an Angel investor, who would more than likely invest in your business as a hobby, rather than a professional VC who is just looking to flip start-ups.
Start off with Angel List (www.angel.co)
