Greg, the founder/CEO of
RightNow and author of the new book,
Bootstrapping Your Business, recently gave a talk at a
TiE Institute event in Santa Clara. You can download a
pdf (2MB) of the talk and view it on the
website.
To EVERY bootstrapper (and entrepreneur thinking about starting a company): WATCH THIS - and watch it twice! It will be the best use of an hour (or 2) of your time. Greg makes a clear and convincing case for Bootstrapping and a devastating case against the VC/investor-focused approach to starting companies. He also outlines the simple, yet powerful rules of bootstrapping with a fun quiz at the end to drive his points home.
I'm looking forward to reading Greg's book and will post my reactions.
