As companies evolve through the stages of [[Ideation]], [[Valley of Death]] and [[Growth]], they move into a sustained period where optimization and improvement of the discoveries from the first VoD occur. Indeed, this is the domain of classic business initiatives. There comes a time, however, when large companies need to rebootstrap themselves, i.e. tap into bootstrapping as an innovation process to develop entirely new products and services. These organizations have bootstrapping in their DNA and it is a matter of reminding them, bringing bootstrapping to the surface and systematizing it by tapping into the people, knowledge and resources of the organization.

Rebootstrap initiatives are designed to be non-disruptive to an organization's day-to-day operations.

As companies evolve through the stages of Ideation, Valley of Death and Growth, they move into a sustained period where optimization and improvement of the discoveries from the first VoD occur. There comes a time, however, when large companies need to rebootstrap themselves, i.e. tap into bootstrapping as an innovation process to develop entirely new products and services. The Bootstrap Network helps large companies with internal rebootstrap efforts through its Rebootstrap Program.
