Have indie founders ever thought of raising investment for their idea or app?
by•
I have build close 2-3 applications till now, none succeeded. But, while starting building or even starting to market, I never thought of making it big enough. It is simply because I was working on small problems and creating small solutions for it and to be honest, never wanted to raise investments.
But, in the startup and saas scenario, there are companies and saas with minimal idea have taken investments. For me, investments are a way with which you come under pressure of increasing your numbes faster. While indie saas owners can benefit all the profits themselves while never have to be under pressure when app or startup is down etc.
What do you think? Raising investment is a good choice for founders or when is investment needed?

Raising money just because other products in the same space did it doesn’t feel like a strong enough reason to me. The money should solve a specific problem
Lot of founder chase funding because it feels like progress but building a sustainable product is also a valid path.
the test i've landed on is whether money buys down a risk you actually have right now. early the real risk isn't capital, it's whether anyone cares, and funding can't answer that. you learn it from what people actually do, and that part is cheap. investment makes sense once demand is real and the only thing missing is fuel.
