Bootstrap online groups are forums organized by stage, industry and topic. We currently use yahoo groups, however, you must have a Bootstrap OpenID and join the appropriate groups on BootKarma. Once you do, you will get an invitation to join the appropriate yahoo group. Read the How to Join Bootstrap to create your validated Bootstrap OpenID.
How to Engage
Please follow these protocols, they preserve the integrity of our online discussions. You manage your online reputation by the way you conduct yourself on the group. If you are ever in doubt about the appropriateness of a post, email Kevin or Bijoy.
- No promoting your business unless in direct response to a question posed by another bootstrapper asking for help.
- No job requests unless you are filling a position for your company. If you find yourself back in Ideation and having to look for a job, check out Hire Austin and Indeed
- No questions about non-venture-related issues.
- No posts relating to "what's broken about bootstrap." Add these directly to the wiki page Suggestions to Improve Bootstrap or get in touch directly with appropriate leads.

- DO share resources, news, connections, information that you think will be relevant to your fellow-bootstrappers.
