TL;DR - Bootstrapping is when founders build and grow a business using their own savings and resources, keeping expenses lean, and reinvesting early profits to fuel steady growth.
Starting a business without outside funding might sound impossible, but it’s the reality for most founders. Before investors write checks, they usually want proof that your idea actually works.
That’s why so many entrepreneurs rely on bootstrapping (growing a company with personal savings, support from friends or family, and reinvesting every early dollar earned).
In this short video, learn what bootstrapping really means, why it matters, and the key steps to make it work if you’re building from scratch.
