Welcome to the Seedstrap era. Bootstrapping has historically stood in the opposition of the VC model. There have been a handful of venture scale outcomes over the years, most notably Mailchimp, but by and large, a generation of founders was taught that venture capital was the only viable path to growing a large business. I speak from experience, my cofounder Adam Robinson and I bootstrapped and scaled our startup to a $10M exit, and after I transitioned to my role at Forum Ventures he used the cashflows from the first business to launch Retention.com($13M ARR with 6 people) and RB2B($5M in ARR in 13mo with 5 people). Increasingly I am talking to more and more founders embracing an evolution of the bootstrapper mentality - the seedstrapper. With the advent of Ai tooling - these founders are raising an initial pocket of capital from investors, and in some cases an A round, but have no aspirations of raising large institutional rounds to scale their business. In the past, bootstrappers could not compete with the growth rates of their well funded competitors, but in this new normal we are seeing that change, as large growth rounds are no longer the prerequisite for explosive growth. The venture market is adjusting. I for one - along with many other pre-seed investors - am embracing seed strapping, as this new breed of startup still has the opportunity to reach $100M+ in revenue, now just with considerably less dilution along the way. Later stage funds are at more of a crossroads however, with many adjusting their investment lens to focus more on deep tech, hardware, and AI infrastructure - sectors where scaling still requires massive amounts of capital.

The PE/VC business is a unique one in that there is a 5+ year lag between inputs (investment decisions) and outputs (investment returns). That sets up 2 common scenarios that experienced investors often go through in their careers: 1. Strong outputs, bad inputs. This is an investor who has a great portfolio, there are strong realized returns happening. Whatever investment this person makes, everyone thinks it could be the next big one. Ironically, it's that success that can lead to bad inputs. It can come from: → Personal over-confidence → A loss of discipline → A lack of skeptical voices The perception of this investor is at its highest due to strong outputs, but they may be doing some of their worst new work due to bad inputs. 2. Bad outputs, strong inputs. This is an investor whose portfolio is struggling, they've had some losses, made some bad decisions, etc. Whatever investment this person makes, no one thinks much of, or even more likely, it's heavily doubted. But, what's unseen, is what those mistakes are leading to: → Better decisions → Improved judgment → And greater discipline The perception of this investor is at its lowest due to bad outputs, but they may be doing some of their best new work due to strong inputs. If there's one thing you can do to give yourself the opportunity to stay in the strong inputs and strong outputs zone consistently, it's this: Have capable people around you who will always tell you what they really think. People who will have the strength to question you when you're up and the empathy to encourage you when you're down. That helps one stay grounded and humble during upswings and believing and confident during downswings. Both of which are against human nature but are essential to consistently strong performance.
