All founders know about bootstrapping – that’s the period before you raise investment when you’re funding it yourself. But have you heard about seedstrapping?

There’s a lot of talk these days about seedstrapping – that’s the idea that with AI reducing the cost of software development and AI agents doing your sales and marketing, after you’ve raised one round of funding, you’ll be able to get to profitability and never need to raise again.

It’s a nice idea, but here’s the thing: it’s a good discipline to have, but never tell that to your investors, or you just made yourself an investable.

See the video for why.

Whichever way you go, the fastest way to do your next funding round is on SeedLegals.
