Bootstrapping Thoughts from Around the Blogsphere

Sramana Mitra is running a series at her blog that features a selection of posts from the blogsphere on bootstrapping.

The first three posts she features includes:

  • Luke Timmerman at Xconomy writing about a biotech start-up that bootstrapped its first 20 months with no support from VCs.
  • Brad Feld’s post on bootstrapping — noteworthy as he is a VC who advocates bootstrapping.
  • Taylor Davidson’s suggestion of a new funding model that shifts VC funding to meet the new reality of an economy dominated by bootstrapped start-ups with less focus on high, short-term growth.

She will be featuring more posts throughout the week, so I will provide some more links in the next few days.
