My co-founder and I have been bootstrapping two products since the start of the year.

1 of them is in market, got early traction and growing slowly organically but, given a lot more time and effort, could be a decent sized business.

The second is a earlier, but again, could be a decent sized business.

We've chosen to bootstrap because we like the idea of the:

- Flexibility to shift to new projects/opportunities

- Building a cash-generating business (vs. waiting for a future exit)

- Working to our timelines/goals, instead of those of an investor

We have a potential opportunity to raise about $350k, for 10% from very founder-friendly fund.

We don't _need_ the cash, but it may help accelerate things.

Intuitively taking the cash injection feels like a no-brainer, but part of me never expects to exit this business because we hope to just live off the cash it generates.

Has anybody been in a similar situation? Any war stories or advice?

I've not been receiving any emails on my Fastmail account the past few hours. Looks like emails are deferred and not delivered. Anybody else experiencing this?

Status page of fastmail indicates no issues.
