The fusion example is extreme. That sort of thing needs government funding.

But say you want to make a new gadget, yeah you would find it hard to bootstrap unless you are already a multimillion dollar company.



Even gadgets can be bootstrapped, I have several toys I could productize tomorrow that cost me very little to prototype.


Sure I’m bootstrapping a small toy now. But to suggest that every single business idea worth building right now can be bootstrapped - I don’t see it.


Why not ? Boostrapping + Kickstarter for instance is a well trodden path at this point.


I didn’t consider kickstarter. Good point.
