- chadkruse 12y agoI think the most interesting part of this post's comments is how everyone views bootstrapping differently. In Chobani's case, per the article, they didn't take in any outside equity, but they did take in outside investment. It just happened to be structured as debt. Nothing wrong with that, just found it interesting. Good reminder that there are a number of different ways to grow an amazing company.
