Today, 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱, I had the pleasure of a virtual coffee with Dávid Šimko, the innovative mind behind OfRules. 🚀 As a business mentor at Techmates Ventures, connecting with founders and exploring game-changing products is a highlight of my work. OfRules "𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁" is tackling some exciting challenges in hospitality digitalisation. It’s always inspiring to hear founders' visions and understand their product journeys firsthand. And although I wasn’t feeling 100%, this session reminded me of the power of dedication and collaboration. 💡 I'm open to sharing an online coffee with any founder who’d like to connect—let’s keep pushing innovation forward together! ☕️ Book the call here https://lnkd.in/eRdB5krw

🚀 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝘀. 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗩𝗣 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲: 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵? 🚀 Hey #startupfounders and #entrepreneurs! One of the biggest early-stage decisions every founder faces is choosing between bootstrapping or going for external funding. At Techmates Ventures, we work closely with startups at the MVP stage, and we know that both routes can take you to amazing places—each with its own unique vibe! Just like with DataBrush guys David Syrový and Ján Briš. 🖐 So, let’s break it down. 👇 💪 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹, 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗻 & 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻 When you bootstrap, YOU are calling the shots. You retain full control, make every dollar count, and get to experiment without external pressure. Yes, it can feel like you’re climbing a mountain with a heavy backpack (your own savings!), but the view from the top is all yours. It’s about making things happen with fewer resources and a whole lot of grit. 💯 💸 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱, 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 & 𝗮 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 On the other hand, going the investor route can fast-track your growth. With extra capital, you can hire top talent, expand features, and reach your market faster. The trade-off? You’ll need to align with your investors’ goals and share the reins. But for many, this partnership gives them the fuel they need to achieve what might otherwise take years. 🌟 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝘀 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂? There’s no “one-size-fits-all” answer. Bootstrapping builds resilience and sharpens your focus. External funding can help you make waves faster. Both have risks, both offer rewards. At Techmates Ventures, we’re here to help you make that choice strategically. Whatever road you take, we bring expertise, insights, and passion to help you navigate and build a game-changing MVP. 🚀✨ So, fellow founders, which path are you on? And what advice would you give others at this crossroads? #techmatesventures #startupgrowth #MVP #bootstrapping #funding
