Simply depends on the service / product being built. Anything that requires hard sciences / real engineer needs funding to support talent and development. Other than that getting scrappy is a good place to start imo. πŸ‘

@snakecharmer I couldnt agree more Paul, biotech seemingly always has large funding rounds due to the cost of devlopment

Bootstrapped, always. Most successful startups mostly start with bootstrap until they reach a point where they need more funds to do bigger stuff. Eg: Meta(FB), Dell, Apple, Coca Cola, Cisco, eBay and so on.

@jorcus thats a great insight, stay bootstrapped until its necessary to grow the way you need to

Both. Bootstrapped first then funding once you have product market fit
