"Not funding" and "looked silly" is a difference, but perhaps it's my limited understanding of the English language.

My wife bootstrapped a startup, got "no funding", scaled it and sold it successfully to a competitor. I guess the idea "was silly" because no one wanted to fund it?

What about all these successful "one person bootstrapped SaaS" companies from time to time in HN threads that didn't get funding?

"But PG said so."
