Re:Whether to boostrap or raise VC for SaaS businesses? on Thursday February 08, 2024 @03:49PM (#39307491)
But I think the main problem is can you cold start without VC? I've a side project and I'm trying to figure out whether to spend time meeting VC and raise funds or just execute + build product.
