Bootstrapped

Nick Franklin and I talked about what it is like to go down the venture capital route instead of bootstrapping. 
For me this was a glimpse into another way of doing things.
Nick and I discussed:
  • why he used outside investment to create ChartMogul
  • ChartMogul's focus on creating good content
  • finding a steady stream of interesting things to write about
  • the difficulty of knowing how customers are acquired
  • getting pricing right
