I'm curious to understand if there is anyone here who has bootstrapped a business and eventually sold shares (maybe a few, maybe a lot) to an outside investor just to take home some cash (i.e. the money does not go into the company but straight to the founder's wallet). If so, what's your story? Were you looking to de-risk, get some cash to start the next project or simply buy something nice? If not, would you consider doing so? Why / why not?

Feel free to mention yours! I want to launch the "MVP tools list" and want to add not well-known but still super useful tools to launch products faster.

Any prodcthunters willing to share why they use(d) Zapier? There are undeniable advantages (well known, 4000 integrations) but it is sooo expensive for heavy users. If you thought about changing, what made you stay/change? (Full disclosure, I am building a tool to compare workflow automation tools and try to validate if there is a need for such tool...)
