Why would anyone self-fund a start up
when they have access to investors?

“We did try to talk to investors early on.
Ultimately, they were concerned with
our ability to scale.
We knew we could do it,
so we built it organically.
Now we have investors calling us
every couple days.
We are constantly juggling
whether to scale organically
or take outside funding.
Of course,
there are things we could do
with a lot of money,
but—on the flipside—
the mistakes we’ve made
in the last few years,
we’ve been able to make cheaply.
If we had money,
they would have been more expensive mistakes.
We are going to stay self-funded
as long as we can.”
Self-funding gives entrepreneurs freedom
and the ability to make their mistakes
on a smaller scale
while growing.
Consider self-funding
your start up.
