"Bootstrap Austin is among the most effective tools for entrepreneurs that I have ever seen - and I've seen a lot." - Gary Hoover

Bootstrap Austin is part of the Bootstrap Network, an open source community for founding entrepreneurs bootstrapping their companies. Founded in 2003 by Bijoy Goswami, we get together every second Monday of the month, share ideas, solve problems and hear from successful bootstrappers. Bootstrapping presents unique challenges and requires a unique approach. We provide a forum for discovering and propagating this path and learning the principles associated with bootstrapping a company.

If you are a bootstrap entrepreneur - or someone seriously thinking about bootstrapping a venture - and would like to join the group, please first read the Welcome to Bootstrap page on our wiki. Then drop us a note at: bootstrapper at bootstrapaustin dot org. Please provide information about your venture and where you are in the bootstrap process: Ideation (you are not yet doing your venture full time), Valley of Death (your venture is not yet sustainable), Growth (your venture is expanding). For non-Austin entrepreneurs, please go to the Bootstrap Network site.

If you know a successful bootstrapper that would enjoy speaking to our group (or are one yourself!), please drop us a note at: speaker at bootstrapaustin dot org.
