Who bootstrap2success Serves

As a former owner of a Software as a Service (SaaS) company that was bootstrapped the whole way, I’ve learned a thing or two about how to build and grow a company successfully. If you’re going to self-finance your company, bootstrap it, or even have been funded, our consulting services might be for you!

So You've Started a Company - Now What?

Starting a business isn’t for the faint of heart, especially a self-funded one. You’re going to have to work harder to get going and face different risks than businesses that have investors or that receive funding from outside sources. If you answer yes to the following questions, then your chances of success will increase dramatically.

  • Are you Fearless? The unknown stops most people in their tracks. Do not let this happen to you. Working with us we will show you how and when to move forward with your business.
  • Are you a Self Starter? Procrastination kills more early-stage startups than any other drawback. Perfection is great to strive for, but your business will never be perfect so do not wait until it is. We will advise and encourage you along the way and help you make decisions as you progress.
  • Do you need help in valuing your solution? If you are a tech startup this can be one of the more difficult decisions. There is not a rule book you can go to, and every business is different. Let us help you increase your revenue with some simple rules on licensing, pricing, and creating an ROI.
  • Has your business stalled? Whether you bootstrapped your business or started with seed money we can help you restart your business. The reason a business stalls and is struggling to get going again can be discovered and corrected. It takes a level of experience and knowledge we can share with you.
  • Are you internally focused with a technical background? Before founding bootstrap2success I spent years leading sales groups with startups and early-stage companies. These years of hands-on experience kept me very close to both the internal decisions many sales executives never experience but still the external focus to drive sales. Let me help you add this level of expertise to your organization.

While the process won’t be easy, I’ll do everything I can to guide your business to success!

So You've Started a Company, Now What?!

Should I raise money or grow organically?

Having control of your business

Not having investors means you have full control to do what you want with your business without needing to please others. This also allows you to invest your available cash however you see fit.

Keeping your profits

You’ve worked hard for your profits! By bootstrapping, 100 percent of your profits belong to you and your co-owners. These are distributed annually so you’ll begin to see the benefits of being an owner. You decide to take them or reinvest them.

Minimized debt

Because you didn’t get any additional funding, you don’t have to worry about paying back debt from loans or other parties down the line. Once you decide to sell, you’ll be glad you did.

Flexibility

Having full ownership of your company allows you to change timelines and direction whenever you want. Being nimble is very important to your success.

Why bootstrap2success?

As the co-founder of a bootstrapped success story as well as an SVP of Sales for venture-funded companies, I know the difference between the two. When I work with clients I use those two work experiences to advise them properly. It might make sense to raise money. If you haven’t done it, do you know where to start and what to say once you’re in front of investors? At bootstrap, we do and can help you grow your business organically or take the steps necessary to raise money.
There are many things we offer to early-stage companies. Among them:

  • Addressing problems and coming up with solutions to remedy them
  • Educating you and your employees on best practices for running your business
  • Improving day-to-day processes to streamline workflows
  • Identifying business strengths and building them up to help the business grow.
  • Even if you’re experiencing other problems with your business, we’ll do whatever we can to tackle them with you, head on.
