I have a bootstrapped startup, I work long hours for 1/3 my market value (1/25 if I'd move to the US).
But, I wrote a distributed database and when we show it to prospective clients and they compare it to the competition and they benchmark it, we always come out on top in terms of performance and architecture. So, although it's not "happy times" right now, it's worth it.
