Scaling CarInfo Without Burning Cash

Bootstrapping is not just a funding choice. It is an operating system.

At CarInfo, we learned to treat every feature like an investment decision. If it does not move retention, activation, or paid conversion, it waits.

Three principles that worked for us:

1. Ship only what compounds user trust.
2. Build revenue loops before vanity metrics.
3. Keep teams small, accountable, and close to user pain.

When capital is constrained, focus becomes a superpower.
