scojon Poll: What was your financial situation when you started your startup?

It seems like there should be a few more options.

My case would be bootstrapping and paying bills through parttime contract work.

scojon Microsoft BizSpark includes free Azure access

I am on Azure as well for my startup (sharpplm.com). We are a document/quality management system for small mfg companies. The app was built as a straight .NET web app with sql server backend, so I went the VM path for now. Since its bootstrapped, Bizspark really has helped cut the startup costs. So far I've been really happy, also all the other software is a nice added bonus.
