What are Boot Boards?

Bootstrappers interested in getting in-depth feedback and support from their fellow bootstrappers can form a Boot Board in coordination with the Boot Board team. 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 meets for 2-4 hours once a month for a year. Boards are formed through the Board Formation Process. For more information on how Boot Boards came to be, see
