You don't need VCs! 💰
So much attention is focused on fundraising milestones and unicorn anointment. Funding is just a means to an end: many founders forgo venture funding, building their business with their savings or cashflow.
We recently asked the Product Hunt community:
"What are some of your favorite products built by bootstrappers?"
Responses include:
✈️ Nomad List, made by Pieter Levels to help digital nomads discover the best place to live and work. “I use NomadList all the time and [Golden Kitty winner, Pieter Levels is] always improving it.” – Joseph Pack
🖥 Carrd, made by a Nashville-based maker, is a dead simple tool for creating a single page website. “This is the quickest, simple website builder.” – Angad Singi
✅ Todist, made by a fully distributed team to help people manage their tasks productively. They're also working on a team chat app to compete with the heavily VC-funded Slack and Google's new Hangouts Chat.
🏕 Basecamp, also made by a distributed team founded in 1999 (!!!), is a widely used team productivity tool to compete with Atlassian-owned Trello.
🚨 Hyperping, made by solo maker Leo Baecker, will let you know when your site is down (it's ok, it happens to the best of us).
