BootBoards were launched at the 4/10/2006 bootstrap meeting (slides in .pdf) after extensive research by Stan Tyler, Michelle Ewalt and David Swedlow. They continue to be the most effective action-creating and accountability mechanism for bootstrap members to make tangible progress in their ventures.

What are Boot Boards?

Bootstrappers interested in getting in-depth feedback and support from their fellow bootstrappers can form a Boot Board. Boards consist of 5-7 bootstrappers and are organized by stage of business. The goal of the board is to help the members move from their current stage to the next. The board requires a commitment of for 2-4 hours once a month for a year. Boards are formed by contacting the appropriate stage-based Subgroup lead:

  • GROWTH: Anthony Chen - anthony.chen -AT- seilevel -DOT- com
