Starting Your Own Company
“Since I began writing this column, I have received e-mail every day from entrepreneurs who are starting a new software company. All those comments and questions have motivated me to write an article about the process of creating a new, small ISV. Note that this article is about ‘bootstrapped’ companies, not ‘funded’ companies. Starting a company with money from investors is a completely different topic that I am not addressing here.”
