Venture capital gets all the attention yet provides only 0.05% of startup funding. Meanwhile, big wins are happening every day in loans, grants, crowdfunding, angel investments & bootstrapping to profitability. 🎉

43% of all venture capital raised goes straight into Facebook and Google Ads. (Source: Clearbanc) Is this healthy?

Thanks for the inclusion. ⚡️

Zapier reached a $5 billion valuation without an office and barely raising any venture capital dollars. CEO Wade Foster explains how his startup reached $140M ARR working with mom and pop shops -- and why he's avoided the VC "hamster wheel." forbes.com/sites/alexkonr…

Too much funding can kill your startup.

Surprisingly raising venture capital does not have a lot of correlation with startup success.

If you take VC $, your startup will blow up. 🚀🎆Blow up BIG - 10x+ return for a VC upon exit. 💣🧨Blow up to ZERO - A write-off. Often with VC, it's one or the other, no middle. Founders might consider NOT taking VC, as bootstrapping/debt could yield a "goldilocks" outcome!

Great to see Bubble Tea Club (Atto 2020) smashing the record for the highest number of EOIs for a crowdfunding campaign on Birchal. We're the first believer in many of these female-founded companies at Atto so it's great to see the wins. 👏 smartcompany.com.au/industries/hos…

Super pumped to share that applications for Atto's next batch are open now. 🦄🦓 As a reminder, Atto is a 12-week plus demo day pre-accelerator program for female founders. It's 100% online, no-code focused, and is led by educators who are founders and operators.

Announcing our Atto Accelerator 2021 Educators 🎓 We help #femalefounders create #tech #startups. 🚀 And we couldn't do it without support from world-class #founders & #startup operators like this group. 👩🏻‍🏫 More about the Accelerator starting in Sept: atto.vc/accelerator

Being a bootstrapped startup doesn't mean you can't build a big business As of today, Mailchimp is worth $10b: - Hasn't raised $1 of outside funding - Profitable since day 1 - Based in Atlanta (not SF) Don't let anyone tell you that you can't bootstrap your way to scale

New cool tech startup: Valued at $10 billion, loses $300 million per year My dumb SaaS: Built for $50k, cash flows $1 million+ per year

I’m looking at setting up an Alt Funding Club for investors and non-sophisticated investors alike where we chat about investment ops in crypto, NFTs, equity crowdfunding campaigns, and so forth. We will share deal flow and performance. The aim is economically empower everyone.

Check out bootstrappers.com from Andrew Gazdecki & Formerly MicroAcquire (now acquire.com). Can’t wait to send a ton of founder owned startups here for inspiration & coverage. The purist startup stories there are featured daily! 💥

We've announced the Atto Accelerator 2021 cohort! 🎊 Over 20 #startups have joined our third batch from across #Australia & #NewZealand - each of them tackling big problems! 🚀 Meet the #femalefounders here: atto.vc/news/atto-acce…

Belated sharing of this #indieway startup success story. According to Axios, the deal is the largest ever by a privately-held bootstrapped company. Congrats to Ben and the team.

Very excited for this partnership with Atto. I believe any underrepresented founder should have access to the same networks, tools, knowledge, coaching, money & resources etc. unfortunately, this is not the case. These programs provide us a step in the right direction. 🙌
