I'm in similar boat with the OP and with your comment I feel defeated already, but I guess it's the reality. Thanks for the bitter pill :)

Don't feel defeated. Embrace the fact that you can make it on your own ;)

Do you think surviving through side-gigs is a valid way of bootstrapping?

[paskster]

Yes! I think trying to make revenue as early as possible and making side gigs if necessary, is a valid way to bootstrap. But this is just my opinion and this topic should require its own thread, if you want to go into details.
