Content companies, for example, should be able to amass traffic and sell advertising on a bootstrapped budget before they come close to seeking equity financing—because you can, and because that’s the market expectation and that’s what your competitors are already doing.

You don’t have the traction, the big-dollar investments, or the marketing staff to attract media attention. Although bootstrapping your startup is difficult, that in and of itself is not unique.

Since we bootstrapped Backblaze, early on we would have months when the company did not have enough cash from sales to buy the additional servers it needed. After launching our Windows online backup service five years ago, our CTO pitched that we should focus on launching our Mac version next. Shoulder – not to cry on, but to lean on.

Not everybody can, especially if they need to run with the idea to get to market. Pitching to investors before building is a waste of time especially if they do not understand the timing to enter the market.
