At a Bootstrappers Breakfast meeting we have serious conversations about growing a business based on internal cash flow and organic profit. This is not for entrepreneurs who want to meet VCs, this is for founders who are actively bootstrapping a startup. We meet in the back room at several local restaurants so space is limited — please RSVP.

“The Bootstrappers Breakfast is a relaxed environment where I can share and listen to insights from other attendees. I have also made some good contacts.” – Linc Jepson, co-founder 74ze

“The attendees are resourceful and offer diverse perspectives. It’s also somewhat surprising but re-assuring to hear other firms wrestling with same problems we have.” – Miles Kehoe, CEO New Idea Engineering
