The Bootstrap Interactive Subgroup (formerly Web Subgroup) is for founders of bootstrap businesses who have an interest in leveraging web & mobile technology to build their business. You don't have to have a web company per se - we all use the web as part of our business. Participation in our monthly meetings and ongoing online conversations is a great way to get and remain knowledgeable about best practices and new technologies. Subgroup lead is Marcus Mateus, marcus ~at~ simplitex dot com.
Next Meeting
We meet the third Tuesday of each month, 6:30pm at Conjunctured, 1309 E. 7th Street, Austin, Texas. This is a roundtable discussion where members of the Bootstrap Web subgroup can talk about their specific business issues and challenges, as well as the state and evolution of the web.
Archives
Past Bootstrap Interactive meetings, including audio, images, and slides when available. We've changed the format of the meetings to be discussions rather than presentations, with possible exceptions. When we have a presentation, we'll attempt to record it and post here.
