Just getting started

Your Business has plateaued

Thinking of a relaunch

Did you know that over 90 percent of tech startups fail within the first four years? Avoid the mistakes so many startups make. Our bootstrap consulting services are geared toward guiding early to mid-stage tech companies to start or accelerate their existing business growth! Even if you have investors for your business, the principles outlined in bootstrap2success White Papers will benefit your business.

What Is Bootstrapping?

Our expertise grew out of years or working at venture funded startups and then a highly successful bootstrap startup that we started and ran for 15 years.  It is this experience that helped us fine tune our expertise in how to run a startup, bootstrapped or not. When bootstrapped, a startup’s capital is limited so your runway is much shorter. Every decision you make is vitally important and can mean the difference between failure or success. To do it successfully is not easy, but it is so much more rewarding knowing you did it all on your own. That feeling of freedom and independence is unmatched. After having done it successfully, we concluded the decisions we made that assured our success, can be replicated for all types of startups. 

There are several notable bootstrapped companies; Patagonia, GoPro, MailChimp and GoFundMe. These companies grew to even more success than the company we started. We all share the same sense of what it takes to do it. At bootstrap we are here to help you be a success as well. Let’s grow together!

Bootstrapping or Not - We Can Help

Your company is 100% yours

Providing all of your own funding means that you and your co-owners own 100% of your profits.

Total control

Having no or few investors allows you to have better control of how the company is run.

Less debt

Because you’re using your own funds, you don’t have to worry about outstanding debt that can sink your valuation.

Let's Grow Together

I know how to bootstrap a startup because I’ve done it with my own tech company! With two partners, we bootstrapped our own company in 2006 and after 14 years in the business, we sold the company.

The knowledge I gained from that experience got me thinking: “Why don’t I share my experience with others and help someone else create the success I’ve had.” And Bootstrap to Success was born!

Techniques and Methods to Success

Whether you have already bootstrapped your company or not, if you’re struggling with ways to come up with growth strategies, I can help! I created a White Paper outlining the seven principles that we used to run our business which was profitable and we then sold successfully.

These principles are:

  1. Do Not Boil the Ocean
  2. Find a Target Market
  3. Ace the Elevator Pitch
  4. Create, Create, Create
  5. Develop a Cornerstone of Sustainability
  6. The Earth is Flat
  7. See the Forest Through the Trees

As your business partner, I’ll send you the 28-page White Paper that explains these seven principles on how to start a business and run it successfully! I’ll also be available to guide you through the business process, answer any questions you may have, help you develop a plan, and to make sure your company makes it past the four-year mark and beyond!

Want to learn about each principle in detail and how it can transform your startup?
