Bootstrapping

 

Don't Give Up Your Equity Or Your Cash Flow!
Learn Startup Bootstrapping Secrets From A Serial Entrepreneur And 15 Year CEO  Who Has Bootstrapped Eight Startups

The current capital environment is about as tight as it has ever been. The bar is higher for raising both angel and venture capital of any kind. MUCH HIGHER! Outside investors expect you to get further on friends and family money, much further, before even considering investing. In the past you could get a "Series A" financing from venture capitalist to raise money for product development. Today this is very rare and fewer VCs are investing in pre-revenue companies (outside of biotech). This CD/slide set is a complete bootstrapping roadmap that will take you from raw idea to a profitable company on minimum cash. This  2-hour audio has over 70 slides and will outline the most powerful bootstrapping strategies to maximize your capital efficiency and ownership.

You will learn:

  • The most powerful bootstrapping strategies to leverage your position, assets and get to revenue faster

  • How to adjust your business model for maximum impact

  • Virtual company techniques that can keep your burn rate low

  • When and how can you plan on getting financing in today's tougher funding environment

Few people who have lived through the struggle of many startups have written materials. You can find books by, academics, authors and researchers who have studied it - Or you can take the guidance and advice of someone who has actually DONE IT eight times. This is in audio because we know you are busy. You can listen to this in your car a couple of times without taking extra time when time is what you have least of right now.

Bootstrapping has made many people very wealthy and allowed them to retain control and build their companies. The fact is it always takes longer and costs more to start your company than you think it will and so you always have to bootstrap. Even if a company has $10 million in startup capital it should use all these bootstrapping techniques. Many companies have been ruined by having too much money. Launching a startup company is probably the biggest challenge you will ever take on. It is risky, expensive and the fact is that more than 90% of companies will not survive. One of the biggest reasons is that entrepreneurs do not get enough help and guidance from people who have done it before. I have consulted and mentored many entrepreneurs and also experienced CEOs . After eight startups I have seen it all and have been able to save and make people millions. In fact investors in my companies have made over $1 billion (yes with a "B") just during the time I was there full-time. This happens because we used less capital and made our first investors and the management team far more money, because we did not have to keep raising money again and again as many growing companies do.

Information and constant learning is the most valuable thing today. Experience can be hard won, or you can benefit from the mistakes and successes of others. Either way the people who leverage others' experiences, use mentors and listen more than they talk are always more successful at starting companies. I have heard venture capitalists say they want to invest in people that are "Learning Machines" - This might be the best advice ever. As long as you keep learning you will increase your value and you company's value.

Best of Success,
