I love how you show that funding isn’t neutral—it shapes the kind of company you build, the pace you move at, and the people you work with.
The trade-offs you highlighted: control vs. speed, equity now vs. regret later, investor fit vs. FOMO are exactly the questions every founder should ask before signing a term sheet.
Too often, people chase money without thinking about how it changes their business and life.
For anyone choosing between bootstrapping, angels, or VC, this is a solid reminder: pick the path that fits your goals, values, and vision, not just the biggest check.
People Don't underestimate how hard fundraising is BUT they frequently miss fire on where to get the best funding based on their particular situation. Thanks for sharing your brilliant comments 🌟
It's has 7 times as many playbooks as our first Book & people can check it out & find where it's available in their geography here - https://book-of-braindumps.com/ - Thanks for sharing your thoughts Chintan, much appreciated 🌞
Thanks Jeroen. We're excited about how the book is being received - 4 days old and people sending photos of them scribbling in the margins. Feels special that Founders are getting the same payback as our first Book 💙
This is such a clear breakdown, Chris!

I love this. So simple and actionable with clearly broken down pathways. The book must be a bomb, totally a field guide.
