What did the founders of WhatsApp (19B exit), Apple, and the INC 5000 know that 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 of startup founders miss?

You can launch a super-successful startup without VC.

There are a ton of well known startups that initially grew without it.

There are just as many big tech companies who also started without VC and bootstrapped their way to success.

→ It's not either/or.
→ Rather it's and/both
→ You don't have to choose between two mutually exclusive options

Look, it's common to want pre-seed or seed funding. If it's offered and it makes sense for you, 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁.

But 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 1% of founders seeking VC, get funded. And 70% of those 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹.

So plan for both — with or without.

Learn to bootstrap and drive revenue. Learn RevOps.

With or without funding, you have to master RevOps.

For you founders who mustered up the courage to leave the 9-5, I want you to succeed. Not to have to go back to what you left because you failed.

Don't limit your success to only one path, bootstrap vs venture capital, 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵.

Set free to prosper! 🚀
