My competitor raised $2M and i'm bootstrapped with $4k in the bank

They just announced their seed round. hiring 10 people. big marketing push planned

i'm one person eating ramen trying to compete

this isn't a fair fight and i'm tired of pretending scrappiness beats capital.

I know having AI on my side is almost like having $1 million in resources if we're thinking in 2010s terms. What would have required a team of developers, designers, and analysts back then, I can now do solo at 2am with the right prompts.

I still love great software. Tools like Notion.so, Trupeer.ai for creating product demos without the editing headache, and Mailmodo.com for email campaigns have genuinely made my work easier.

But that doesn't cover for the millions in comfort they get and the unlimited marketing budget.
