Please help me create an IH group for discussing self-funded vs. externally funded. I started the Bootstrapped group. Join it?

  1. 1

    @csallen I understand that we're meant to invite people to join a group, get 10 to do so before it might be made public. How are we supposed to invite them? Just tag them in a comment on the launch post, such as in here? After all, we have followers in IH, so it would make sense to hit selected people from our own IH following rather than contact people outside the IH community.

    Thanks.

    The email below is from the cofounder of Knotel. They accepted outside investment. What people fail to understand is that when you take money from those not working on the product, you give control to people whose have an inherent conflict of interests with you. They can and do force you to do what makes them a fast buck, but kills your dream of building a hundred year company.

    This is why my company, RiteKit has always been self-funded: no one but the those on the team have been permitted to invest in it.

    AMA if you like.
