> Are all of these bootstrapped, or are some of them self-funded?

HN doesn't seem to make the distinction, for self-funding of less than $100K.

The thing I find particularly fatuous: "We were bootstrapped until we took VC money", as if everyone who takes VC money isn't in the same camp. I guess the company I founded was bootstrapped until our A round valued at $40M. Hey I created a $40M company by bootstrapping!
