Letsbootstrap organizes community events that help brave founders who decide to take the risk themselves and fund their own startup, instead of taking the well-known path of raising a round of financing. We organize fireside chats with successful bootstrappers who share their knowledge and experience as well as connect with attendees before and after the interview. We don’t do networking. We establish meaningful relationships and help each other out. As bootstrappers, it’s even more important to be a part of a community where like-minded entrepreneurs can seek each other’s help and advice. We restrict service providers from attending to keep conversations clear and to the point. Pitching is also discouraged. We are here to ask the other question – “How can I help?” – first and foremost.
