Bootstrapper x 3 and I would say footnote here would be if you can get smart money, take it!
Bootstrapping can sometimes mean you are the bottle neck financially, networking wise and pressure/drive wise - sometimes it’s good to have a cheerleader + someone to consult with.

In the end a good startup ecosystem takes exactly the same thing as a good dinner party.
- a curated group of people you actively need to find or attract
- empowering thought leadership or discussion
- an exciting or welcoming environment

Great advice would also add find a cofounder that approaches business like you / aligns ethically ( not dynamic ) and don’t just look for one who’s belief in the business are the same ( very dynamic ) - source past mistakes x 3 lol
