Microsoft basically bootstrapped for a decade before taking investment. It was in the form of an IPO and made 12,000 current [at the time] and former employees millionaires. It made the two founders and Balmer billionaires. Gates became the richest person.
Maybe you don't need investor money. If you don't need it, you probably don't really want it. The purpose of a business is not to raise money from investors...well maybe if you're running a con, but that's another story.
