Welcome to the Bootstrapper's Group on Yahoo!

Our group will serve as a community for the bootstrapping entrepreneur defined as the business person who launches his/her venture with little or no outside investment and grows it largely through revenue or other personal, borrowed or bartered resources.

This site is for:

1. The bootstrapping entrepreneur using a variety of personal or other available resources to start a new venture without the benefit of external funding

2. The bootstrapper already operating a business and using bootstrapping techniques to grow his/her venture

3. Anyone who is planning or has ever dreamed of starting a small business but believes it will require too much money or hard-to-get external investment to make that dream a reality.

4. Those friendly to the efforts of bootstrap entrepreneurs either with experience and background in business or some related field who can offer help, support or advice to those starting or growing a business with little or no financing or outside investment.
