This week we discussed whether or not you should bootstrap or raise capital.

Guess what do these big tech companies have in common?

→ Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Google, Amazon, Twitter

- Basecamp
- Mailchimp
- GitHub
- Atlassian
- Shopify
- WhatsApp
- Zoho
- Crazy Egg
- Y Combinator
- GitLab
- Toggl
- Balsamiq
- ZoomInfo

They all bootstrapped first before they raised VC. They didn't raise first.

→ it's not raise VC or Bootstrap
→ it's not either/or

Which path forward whether you are pre or post revenue?

Here's The Plan.

→ Plan for both
→ Do both

Then we finished up with how to pray effectively and efficiently for your startups.

That's the plan, Stan!
