To bootstrap or to fundraise? That’s one of the many forks in the road entrepreneurs have to decide between.

Although seed capital is abundant these days, there are incentives to launch a business on your own dime. Bootstrappers have more control over their business; they’re forced to be innovative and scrappy, and they attract team members who are in sync with their vision.

But no one says bootstrapping is easy. It requires entrepreneurs to shoulder high opportunity costs, personally and financially. Not to mention that without a fast injection of venture capital funds, building a business might take a lot longer.

Want to learn how to get a business off the ground with a little cash and a lot of moxie? You’ve come to the right place:
