I don’t know, I like your reasoning but isn’t it more complicated than that? Bootstrapping imo is the best way to go if you don’t wanna give up stake but the reality is that going to VCs makes much of the process much easier (funding). Without the VC system, would we have to go back to a traditional loan process? I find that backwards and I would assume founders will like getting money from VCs better than banks at the start (after all, most loans may not even be approved if you’re starting out).
