In a tight capital market, every startup weakness shows. Investors are pickier and mediocre businesses can't survive on ad spend alone. Bootstrap now if you can, then reassess if the market loosens up.
In a market like this, all of your problems are exposed. Every problem in your business is like out there for everybody to see. And in a market where there's a ton of capital flowing in, you can squeak by or even thrive with a crappy business plan, like no like real growth, just pumping money into ads and like, and just, you can kind of game the whole thing. That's not the market we're in. So I would heavily steer towards bootstrap right now and then opportunistically watch the market. And when the market starts to pick up Yeah, figure out if, if the capital route is for you. It's not for everybody.
