Yahoo Group

This group is ONLY for Austin bootstrappers in the Valley of Death stage and beyond. Ideation bootstrappers (you are not doing your venture fulltime), join the Ideation Subgroup. When you request to join this group, provide complete information including:

  1. Full name
  2. Company website
  3. Stage of business
  4. Years in VOD

Rules of Engagement

Please follow these rules, they help preserve the integrity of our online discussions. If you are ever in doubt about the appropriateness of a post, email Kevin or Bijoy.

  1. No promoting your business unless in direct response to a question posed by another bootstrapper asking for help.
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. Represent your needs only. A bootstrapper that needs help must be on the list. Requests for non-bootstrap entities are sent directly to Bijoy.
  5. DO ask any question that will help you move your venture forward
  6. DO share resources, news, connections, information that you think will be relevant to your fellow-bootstrappers.
  7. DO post events you think are of interest (WITHOUT REMINDERS) to the calendar. These could also be any events that your company is putting on that you would like bootstrappers to know about.
