How much money do you need to get started? Do you bootstrap, beg, borrow, steal money from family, friends or fools? Overall it seems if you really believe in your idea then you should go for it. These days with MVP’s, Lean Startups, and all the rest, if you have the drive you might just make it. Then you can take on the funding later on, on your own terms. here’s hoping anyway!

 The lendingtree.com have shared their research with us, and come up with the following figures.  More on their twitter account here too.
