bootstrapping: > the art of starting a business with little or no external funding or help.

We aim to help entrepreneurial students do some of the same things we do in our Bootstrap Chapters: find like-minded souls, solve problems, share resources, build community and most importantly, take the bootstrap way. - Bijoy Goswami, founder Bootstrap Network.

Bootstrappers don't write lengthy business plans, chase deep-pocketed investors, or indulge in overly academic market research excercises. Instead, they focus all of their considerable energy, brainpower, determination and skills on creating a business that can actually succeed in the real world. - Greg Gianforte, CEO and Founder of RightNow Technologies
