Poll: How you're funding your startup

3 points by icey ↗ HN
The two major schools of thought seem to be bootstrapping and acquiring funding. I'm curious as to how many people want to go the YC way or the 37signals direction.

I suppose it's possible to acquire seed funding and bootstrap from there, so I'll include that as a choice as well.

If people feel up to commenting, I'd like to hear about your exit strategies as well - do you plan to get huge and sell / go public, or do you prefer to build a business that you'll work for for awhile?

I'm also curious about the correlation between people intending to bootstrap / fund and whether they intend to eventually exit or whether they wish to be employed by their own company for the foreseeable future.
