Earlier today I was chatting with Mark Asquith on twitter about Threddie's progress. During the conversation I said something along the lines of "this would all be done by now if I didn't have a day job". Then added "I can see why some people apply for funding".

Indeed, there are times when the idea of seeking an investor is tempting. It would be great to get some seed funding and live off it for three months while focusing entirely on Threddie.

Not going to do it, though. Mostly because investors don't grow on trees, which means finding and convincing them takes time. By all accounts, wooing angels is a full time job. So I'd be back to square one.

I guess I'll just keep bootstrapping.
