History
In Jan 2006 Bijoy spoke to the Austin City Council on bootstrapping. There he met Rosy Jalifi, who runs the Small Business Development Program (SBDP) for the City of Austin. Rosy suggested a 1-day workshop on bootstrapping, offered to the public. Thus the Bootstrap Bootcamp was born and was offered twice in 2006 through the SBDP. Bijoy also taught the Bootstrap Principles to 7 students at the Khabele School in the Fall of 2006 and a number of bootstrappers (Mousumi Shaw, Josh Baer, Tina Schweiger spoke to the students. In the latter part of 2006 bootstrapper Josh Shipsey helped create an online version of the course. This is now offered in collaboration with Josh's company, Communication Simulations at Bootstrap Bootcamp.
