Did you successfully bootstrap your company? What's your story about how you got started?

The definition of 'bootstrap' I'm using here is a company that was self-funded or started with very little outside capital and then grown brick-by-brick simply by reinvesting revenues taken in.Please share any war stories or tips you may have (this might even be a good topic for a Brief: http://www.focus.com/ugr/create-research/ ).

We (3 partners) bootstrapped our startup, Office Divvy ™ --a company that works with Startups, Entrepreneurs, and Small Businesses, providing co-location facilities, startup acceleration programs, and outsourced operation.

At just over 2 years old now, we did a handful rounds of self-financing. Organic business growth, organic facility and service expansion, and organically increased visibility in the community have been perfect for our own learning curve as well as for really minimum chaos --that otherwise is a part of of any startup.
