BootBoards were launched at the 4/10/2006 bootstrap meeting (slides in .pdf) after extensive research by Stan Tyler, Michelle Ewalt and David Swedlow. They continue to be the most effective action-creating and accountability mechanism for bootstrap members to make tangible progress in their ventures.

What are Boot Boards?

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
