Boot Board (Austin)
BootBoards were launched at the 4/10/2006 bootstrap meeting (slides) after extensive research by Stan Tyler, Michelle Ewalt and David Swedlow. They continue to be the most effective action-creating and accountability mechanisms for bootstrap members to make tangible progress with 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:
- IDEATION: David Nelson - servicewizard -AT- yahoo -DOT- com
- VOD: Laurie Loew - laurie -AT- giverealty -DOT- com
- GROWTH: Anthony Chen - anthony.chen -AT- seilevel -DOT- com
