Evaluating Risk vs Reward Bootstrapping vs Venture Capital for Women Tech Founders

Bootstrapping allows women tech founders to maintain complete control over their ventures, growing at their own pace and making decisions without external pressures. It involves less risk since it doesn't accumulate debt or give away equity. However, scaling might be slower. Venture Capital, on the other hand, can provide substantial funds for rapid growth and access to valuable networks but comes with the trade-off of losing some control and equity. The choice depends on the founder’s risk tolerance and growth ambitions.
