Hi All, I am trying to find out from Founders, Co-Founders & all Teams of startups to know your funding status. Are you still Looking for funding? Or have it locked? or don't want it at all { Which I doubt } :)

Why do you want funding in the first place? Bootstrapping used to be hard, but thanks to SkilledUp Life, you can build a large team very easily. Once subscribed, all our talent is free. We are getting closer to 20,000 strong free talent pool from 103 countries

Option C) Self-Funded / Bootstrapped :)

You should add another option for "Bootstrapping" :)

sorry. I don't want any money. because every penny you get you need to pay back three times. heard this on a netwerk event between 7 founders who all agreed. If you can, fund yourself. build the product from the heart and with a customer base. Tip I heard from a fellow entrepreneur this week: the client needs you as much as you need them. So don't be scared to talk to your (future) customers cheers and good luck y'all

@murali_aasaan @anthony_pen @annachen_ Hey PH Community! 👋 I'm super excited to share ContextGPT, a Twitter 🤖 that adds context to any tweet! Utilizing GPT technology, mention @ContextGPT in any tweet, and we'll provide relevant information to contextualize it. Over the past few months, we've pivoted our business and have accrued over 19,000 people onto our waitlist!! With the increasing amount of information being shared on social media, it's more important than ever to have a tool to help us make sense of it. We believe that ContextGPT will disrupt the Twitter dynamic — providing valuable insight and context for any tweet. Say 👋 to confusion and hello to an understanding with ContextGPT.

Sadly, there isn't a third option that says "too poor and too small to get any funding."

Fully funded by myself! Bootstrapped unless I scale unpredictably high and need more capital
Richard Gao
Looking for funding for evoke-app.com once we have a good customer base. But launching in a couple of days so that'll definitely be fulfilled soon!
Murali Gottumukkala
@richard_gao2 I am sure your wish will get fulfilled

I think we are still up for a ride called fundraising in times of economic downturn and VC panic!

Hi Murali. Thanks for your message. But I don't understand what you want well. Could you explain more detail? Thanks
Murali Gottumukkala
@anthony_pen trying to find out from startups whether they have locked funding or looking for funding?
Arthur Trembley
@murali_aasaan I am looking for a new position with funding now. Anyway I'd like to discuss it with you soon. Thanks

Toggle TV will probably not raise capital. I think we can get to profitability soon enough that we don't need to raise until there's some reason to try and achieve really fast growth. But that would only make sense after we get the first 100k or so users onboarded.
