Bootstrapping Or VCing - How are you building your business?

Just read the viral post on this subreddit about Shit VC List. I'm someone who's worked closely with founders who've raised from VCs (some in the shit list) and also with founders who are avoiding VCs to bootstrap their business.

When I decided to build my own business; I knew that I'd Bootstrap it because I don't want to 'go big or go home'. I'd rather build my business at my own pace, fund the business with customer-money and not aim to be a Unicorn.

I also understand that not every business can be bootstrapped or VC funded.

I'd love to know from fellow entrepreneurs how and why they are bootstrapping or VCing their business.
