Can a Zero-Budget Bootstrapped Project Really Win on Product Hunt?
Hi everyone, I m Ike! I am new here on Product Hunt!
We re about to launch our very own bootstrapped app, and I ll admit the nerves are real. Going to market without investors means no golden road, no safety nets and no big launch budget... just us, our product and a lot of grit.
I ve been on the other side too, working on launches where investors were involved. Strangely, those big wins often faded fast when the money people lost interest. A few million dollars didn t mean much to them, but for the teams who poured their hearts into the project, it could have been life-changing.
This time, I want to focus on adding real value: helping teams, supporting businesses and giving startups a way forward. I know it s not a fairytale! Freaking bootstrapping is hard... but maybe that makes the journey more meaningful.
