It's 2018, you have a great idea for a software business but you need to spend 6-12 months of full-time to build, launch & get traction.
Your options to fund it are:
* VC 
* Life savings 
* Rich relatives 

* Credit Card Debt 
* Shark Tank 



Mike, I agree with you that it's possible for a few companies, mostly media oriented, to start as Excel sheets, mailing lists, ect. (http://getlatka.com is another example) But starting a true SaaS that way (and getting it to scale while bootstrapped) is rare.

I agree, the 6-12 month scale thing is very hard to do without capital. But there are way more situations of companies (from personal experience) that bootstrap to profitability (18-36 months) than those that take VC money. It’s much more common than you think, bc it’s not talked

No offense, but I feel like you moved the goalposts in this discussion. The OP was about how you sustain a business for 6-12 months. You started in with spreadsheets, but now it sounds like you're walking back.
