Funded vs. Bootstrapped is a false dichotomy. Not every business model will succeed as a funded company and the opposite is true too. While the author claims there is a charm to the "37 Signals" profitability approach vs. the "Twitter" growth approach. There's a reason those companies operate on completely different models and on completely different products. In hindsight, would you have believed Apple could have existed without capital infusion? It is, arguably, a very profitable tech company. I think there is a reason for both types of companies to exist. Generalizing the problem in to a pseudo duel between the two are the beginnings of a flawed decision.
