Financial Risk Bootstrapping Versus Venture Capital

Bootstrapping is low-risk in terms of financial leveraging, as it avoids the pressures of debt or dilution of ownership. However, it may involve personal financial risk if the founder's savings are tied up in the business. Venture Capital shifts financial risk away from the founder personally but introduces the risk of losing control if the business does not perform as expected. Founders must assess their financial resilience and risk appetite.
