Over the recent weeks and months I’ve noticed a growing rift within the “entrepreneurial community”. There is a lot of debate (and sometimes even hate) which way of setting up and growing a startup is the “right” or sometimes even “pure” form.

On the one hand there is the copycat vs. (true) innovator discussion, on the other hand there seems to be an increasing tension between bootstrappers and those with external funding.

I don’t want to go into any details (opinion are all over the web, I don’t have to repeat whats been said before) or take a certain stance which approach I consider right or wrong. The reason for this is not that I am a coward not willing to take a clear position here, but much more that I dont have one and honestly don’t see a need to take one. I personally think that it is a mostly unnecessary decision in first place, since just like with most things in life there simply is no true or false and everybody should be able to follow his or her chosen path.

And who am I to judge on that…
