If you’re looking to take your SaaS company to the next level, consider doing TinySeed (where I am a tiny, seed investor).

It’s sort of the midpoint between bootstrapping and getting on the growth-prioritizing trajectory. Everyone involved did the bootstrapping thing, likes the sort of companies it produces, but thinks that a tiny bit of money and help early can save you years in the wilderness.

Because all advice to the next generation is advice we wish we had heard when younger, I wish someone had told me “You have proven you have the seed of something, so water that rather than tending bingo cards and salaryman JIRA tickets for next five years. You only get one life.”
