Managing a startup is hard, and funding it can be even harder. Despite these challenges, there are a surprising number of startups that rake in enough cash to get off the ground without ever turning to venture capitalists or angel investors for seed funding and startup capital. In fact, only about 3% of investor capital goes toward businesses in the startup phase.
When you consider that over 500,000 new businesses are launched every month, you’ll see that only a tiny number of startups get outside financial support. The rest are putting up their own capital and bootstrapping their way through launch.
