Bootstrapped startups or companies who use their own earnings or existing cash flow to fund growth rather than relying on outside sources of capital are in a very different category than venture-backed startups. By asset class nature, bootstrap startups prioritize revenue to stay alive, while venture-backed startups prioritize growth to retain investors for future runway needs. Bootstrap companies follow less of an exponential growth curve, while venture capital backed companies should be an outlier.
