frost & christa: Thanks for the support guys!

Henry: It is interesting to think about whether a funded business can move at the “speed of life”, as you eloquently put it. I don’t see why it can’t. I don’t consider us to move slowly, we simply don’t pretent that a business can flat-out sprint without paying a price in productivity and creativity.

Anyways, it should be interesting to see how it plays out!

As you know, I am a great fan and over the years I have been impressed with just that fact, you guys do things at the speed of life and not at the speed of “investors”. You philosophy is one I should adopt into my own business ventures! Keep up the good work fellas! henrymoran@gmail.com California, U.S.A.

I agree, bootsrapping is a great way to go wherever possible. Some ideas can grow naturally based on revenues and don’t suffer if there’s a lack of cash.

I figure outside capital is best for ideas that solve a real problem for which people will pay money, but require speed and scale to build out quickly. Ideas where the first player to do it right gains a long-term advantage in market or mind-share, and ultimately building into a valuable brand.

I’m definitely a bigger fan of “bootstrapping” than of pursuing outside investment as a way of building a business.

BUT investment makes sense as a way to introduce a PRODUCT, whether it’s a new company making a first product, or an existing company making a new product.

Good luck!!

I think getting it out there is the best, your feedback is the gonna be where you need to take the new features. Give it like 24hrs and I’m sure you’ll be swamped with hundreds of new ideas that are gonna give you 24 days worth of work.
