Jump to: navigation, search

The Bootstrap Community Meetings on the 2nd Monday of each month. Invitations go out via Facebook. Meetings start at 6:30, with a half hour of socializing, followed by an hour of content. The conversations (and beer drinking!) continue afterwards. The focus of the Bootstrap Main meeting has evolved over the years (see below), the purpose has always been to create community, share knowledge and help bootstrap entrepreneurs advance their ventures.
