3 x 10 panel on Bootstrapping
Overview:
Learn some great boot strapping lessons from our 3 x 10 panel of start-up entrepreneurs that are in the process of boot strapping, just been there and have attained a level of success on their own merit. This week we have an awesome 3 x 10 panel. A great (and possibly only) option for being a successful software start-up in the current economic climate is to bootstrap for success. Bootstrapping means to be successful in your own right and to do it with little or no external funding (possibly a tin cup or friends and family round).
