And even if you are getting in, you still have a choice to say no, thank you, and remain with a bootstraped business.

Interesting. Anyone know if there's an indiehacker version of this?
I've certainly thought about it. But I'm short some..... $999,525.
I wonder what that would look like?
I’m not interested in the investment but I’d love to have a sales coach!
