$0 for me. I get customers or clients to pay for my services, then for my team, then for the products I build for them. I prefer to get money from customers than from investors, and I like to bootstrap.

I had an offer for 2k for 7% perpetuity.
Person didn't sign the papers in time, which I had a time restraint. Thought better of it after the time limit, declined the offer.
