I guess he's wondering whether your business plan involves taking funding, or whether you're going to make it entirely on your own.
We've been talking to a bunch of different angels and VCs over the past few weeks but haven't taken it much further than that (yet).
We've got a couple of ideas on how we can start pulling in some revenue on our own but the starting point for that will be a (relatively) solid product UI that improves Twitter's signal-to-noise ratio.
That being said, I'd seriously consider taking on some outside money if it comes with some smart folks that can help us improve the product and introduce us to their friends. :)
