The whole might be greater than the sum of its parts, but startups are all about the individual parts.
I prefer businesses that can be bootstrapped initially because the constraints (in time and funding) should create creativity. It also means much greater leverage when you want to have those first discussions with potential investors.
A big part of entrepreneurship is being creative within constraints and being a South African entrepreneur is no different.
To be successful, you only need one better-than-bad-idea which you work incredibly hard at.
