No VC, No Problem - Why Being Scrappy Beats Being Funded
Episode #103: 🚀 In this episode of NF-Twins, we share our unfiltered take on raising venture capital vs. bootstrapping. Having done both, we opened up about the hard lessons we learned chasing funding instead of focusing on what matters—getting customers and building a real business.
🔥 What you’ll learn:
âś” Why being scrappy often beats raising VC money
âś” The hidden costs of chasing investors too early
âś” How we built momentum without external funding
âś” Why boring businesses are the new gold mines
👯‍♂️ Clone Wars Segment:
Marc reveals why “Boring Local Monopolies” are the new Unicorns—think septic tank cleaning, mobile dog grooming, or funeral homes. These small, overlooked businesses have recurring demand, low churn, and almost zero digital presence. Perfect storm for digital-native entrepreneurs.
If you're tired of the hype and want practical strategies to build real wealth, this episode is for you. đź’ˇ
