Ask HN: How did you decide b/w bootstrapping slowly and looking for VC money?

4 pointsby bszupnickabout 6 years ago
I&#x27;ve been working on a side-project for the past 1.5 years on nights and evenings. It solves a real problem with a large market potential.<p>I had a successful paid pilot and the customer was ecstatic and I got another wannabe customer (didn&#x27;t work out for other reasons).<p>I need help, though. The product needs help and there&#x27;s ways to go until it&#x27;s ready to fully hit the market.<p>Should I keep trying to grow organically? Or should I more seriously try to get a much-needed growth-spurt to try to dominate the vacuum I see in the market.<p>I&#x27;m sure I&#x27;m not the first person to have this quandary, so I&#x27;d love to hear other people&#x27;s experiences.
