Collaborator

A collaborator is a Bootstrapper who has not only generalized a need of the community – but feels they have created a resource to fulfill this need as a product or service offered outside the community. These products/services have been offered first as a Contributor to members of the Bootstrap Community. Both the Bootstrap Organization and the Collaborator benefit from this arrangement, and if successful can lead to the a larger market release of the product as a new venture. Each collaboration is uniquely structured through mutual agreeement between the Bootstrap Organization and the Collaborator.

NOTE: This is how the Bootstrap Organization generates revenue, since it does not charge its members to participate.

Requirements

• Has been a Contributor of the community for 3 months or more

Typical Participation

• Release and Rollout of Alpha/Beta product/service within community as a Contribution
• Integration of Product/Service in one or more Bootstrap Initiatives
• Feedback activity with members of Bootstrap Community

Structure

1. Collaborators are in no way precluded from selling their product or service, however they do so under their own brand/company
2. Collaborators own their IP/product and Bootstrap owns the Boot-brand.
3. Collaborators and the Bootstrap org are free to exit the relationship and remain whole

Examples

• Bootstrap Services
• Bootstrap Bootcamp
