[Thread] Funded startup versus Bootstrapped startups.

A funded startup is a fighter jet. It flies at supersonic speeds, creates sonic boom and everyone is in awe.

A bootstrapped startup take off is exciting and the farther you want to travel the more boring it can get. A funded startup can maneuver (pivot) and take more G's (ability to absorb the shock) at high speeds.

A bootstrapped startup maneuverability is limited to the altitude and the max G force it can take at that moment.

Startup advice:

If you are Modi, find your Amit Shah
If you are Amit Shah, find your Modi.

Once you find your partner,
Find a Nirmala
Find a Smriti
Find a Nitin
Find a Arun
Find a Tejasvi
Find a Sushma

Success depends on the ability to build partnerships & attracting talent. Don't try to be Modi unless you are suited to carry hate of a millions of people and still can focus.

Discover what your strength is.

Being Amit Shah is a great choice if you are a strategist.

Being Nirmala is a great choice if you are a person made of steel.

I was at #CAST2018
It was a lovely conference
This is my 3rd CAST in 10 years
The first CAST I attended - I didn't have the money to pay for tickets or stay.
@michaelbolton gifted me a ticket through his miles and also let me stay at his home
I also met @JerryWeinberg there. On the morning of #CAST2018 is when the news leaked that Jerry had passed away to continue his work with Virginia Satir

I wasn't sure what to think because in my mind Jerry has no death. Physical, yes.
Are we really associating just physical existence as "life"?
