Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with many bootstrapped entrepreneurs. I love working with self-financed startups and modestly capitalized ones that operate in a capital-efficient manner applying the principles of bootstrapping.
As the new year begins, entrepreneurs need to think about new year resolutions. Perhaps you have come to the conclusion that you will not seek further funding. Instead, you will look for an Exit.
Will you be going after funding in 2025? To raise your FIRST institutional funding round OR to raise your NEXT round of funding, the requirement is similar. You need to show a path to High Velocity Growth. Velocity, however, is squarely dependent on Repeatability.
I have been running 1Mby1M since 2010. Each year is a new beginning. Let’s start 2025 right!
