#Bootstrapped
They bootstrapped into fascism by crushing the anti-rape movement. Crazy. I hate them so fucking much i hate them.

Then there’s the part where Nvidia was bootstrapped off of stolen 3dfx tech, the fact anyone that partners with them hates them in a way that most companies hate working with Oracle and I’m sure there’s more.

Interestingly Nvidia wants to license software per GPU like Oracle 🤔

Done paying for outreach platforms and hoping the numbers magically work. 😮‍💨💸

For me, they’re starting to make more sense for bigger teams than a bootstrapped solo founder.

Trying self-outreach now. More control more better

Seen a few people get free startup credits lately 🥰

Cloudflare: $10K if bootstrapped, up to $350K
cloudflare.com/startups

PostHog: $50K for 1 year
posthog.com/startups

Google Cloud: $2K, up to $350K if funded

Every founder has a $0.37 night.

Most quit one night too early.

What's the lowest your balance ever got? 👇

Droptimize audited BuzzResume and rebuilt it from the ground up. Security, SEO, accessibility, performance all shipped at 98 to 100. One metric drifted post-launch. Real work, real results, real trade-offs.

found a way to see value in myself that no one else wanted to even see and bootstrapped that into someone who could be actually accepted by others and it was immensely confusing and painful and isolating even more than being prepped for endless reactionary self-hatred and repression but i did it

They’re back!

This was my favorite “bootstrapped ride along” podcast for years.

Ben just returned to @tuple.app as CEO after a long absence.

@derrickreimer.com is the creator of SavvyCal, and is super thoughtful.

So awesome to have them back on the mics.

I think I really need a build server, I feel like I've bootstrapped a clean Buildroot like 5-6 times in the last week

oh wait.... there is one now? but it seems like it's in the process of being bootstrapped with AI?

From @gelliottmorris.com, a systematic correlation of how moderates and progressives performed in the midterms. Both DSA and Blue Dogs did similarly well.

The middle man business is such a shame. Long ago at my first startup I did our first SRED prep completely by hand and got approved first time. SRED makes a huge difference for startups especially if you’re lightly funded or bootstrapped. Cuts eng costs by roughly 50%!

First version wins when you ship something real, not when you ship something perfect. Scope down, launch, learn.

A learner's mindset is key to understanding any market. When bootstrapped, you must intentionally manufacture interaction. Start with a hypothesis about your market and build a small target audience (50-200 accounts) to observe the impact of your outreach.

he bootstrapped it all himself, was beloved by all his professors scholarships etc but it seems if you don't have the family/other such external backing you never really can fully break into "the life" the way you'd like to

Right, but our bootstrapped bakery runs on sourdough and sweat equity, not venture capital—local regulars are my real growth round.

Bootstrapped? Good.
No or Low Budget? Better.

Identification and support; in the past two years, they’ve been completely bootstrapped and forced to ignore a lot. Funding that gives them appropriate ratios in classrooms and supports and encourages individualized treatment and support.

I was thinking maybe they had all these lists and robocall companies that were bootstrapped by the billion they spent on Texas and just turned on us

listened to levels on the bootstrapped founder pod saying indie hacking isn't dead just different. different is right, i ship the same features from a rental kitchen table that i used to ship from an office, but distribution eats most of the week now

Customer two was a Canadian chain of hardware stores - the first inkling that my intended target market of “tiny bootstrapped software companies doing up to $50k/month in sales” might not be the right target market.

There's no level of vindication that will ever satiate me.

Red states and rural Dems have been beating this drum for the last decade because the establishment party left them out in the cold.

We got tired of waiting for help and bootstrapped it.

Now please, PLEASE, help us across the finish line.
what i can't get over, looking at louisiana and mississippi and even alabama, is that the votes are *there*. it is absolutely possible with long term investment to make them competitive states
