TODAY'S EPISODE
Everybody tells you 
“you should raise funding as a startup!”
But is it true? 
Is this the only way? 
Well, it's not. 

And actually, there are many cases where raising funding is actually a really bad idea and bootstrapping your startup would be much smarter. 

But how do you bootstrap your startup?

Today, I'm talking to Kati Ernst, co-founder and CEO of Ooia. They sell innovative consumer products for the needs of women. 

They've entirely bootstrapped the company they started two and a half years ago, they already have 
🚀 more than 100,000 customers
🚀 several million euros of revenue.
They also have an exceptional company culture, completely flexible: they work without working hours and both co-founders are also parents combining entrepreneurship and raising children.
Katy shared a list of Do's and Don'ts about 
💡 “How to bootstrap a consumer product company” 💡
and in particular we talked about:
✅ finding alternative financing options than the classic investor road
✅ taking bold decisions while bootstrapping
✅ growing an audience organically with storytelling 
✅ Preparing a successful crowdfunding campaign without paid PR 
✅ choosing the right business model for bootstrapping

So fasten your seat belt and be ready to learn a lot!
