I believe that it all depends on your target. If you are looking for a company in the$ 10-20M revenue range you will be a more interesting target for investors, so you will attract capital from the search phase, not to mention that at that level you need to spend a lot more money during your search for travel, advisors, generation of leads, etc., so self funding may become very expensive.
