    Build it in public. Seek to be profitable from day one. Adapt a business model that focusses on cash flow. Be innovative, minimise spends(this includes hiring). Utilize community focused platforms like product hunt and reddit. Grow a sizeable business. Put profits into ads or Get acquired on Acquire.com, finally you have budget for the next big project.

    We bootstrapped for a LONG time as we were figuring out what exactly would solve the problem of burnout. We did paid pilots, worked part time, and did 500+ interviews. Today, we launched on product hunt!! App is called Burnout Bot - check us out! Now we feel like we can really deliver value, and that is HUGE for feeling ready for proper VC fundraising.

    I did bootstrap QApop 2.0 and recently successfully exited. A few things help: - focus on channeles which consumes time rather than money: for us posting answers on Quora worked quite well - run product hunt early on with a life time deal to raise funds: https://www.lunadio.com/blog/we-... - leverage affiliate: it is nice that it doesn't have upfront cost. You can check out the product that I'm hunting today for some help on this topic
