for bootstrap start-ups and businesses

One Stop Shop for all Bootstrapping Needs

In the entrepreneurial start-up world, bootstrapping is building a start-up without external funding.

It connects strongly to the lean start-up method.

What is Bootstrap?

You have no funds & no customers: where can you start?

Let's be honest, it was extremely hard to recruit investments even before the latest recession .

If you don't show traction to potential investors, it's almost impossible to get them to write checks. If you don't have investment, how can you bring traction?

How Can You Succeed?

Chicken & Egg Problem

Focus on traction, get customers, without funding!

The way is through lean start-up method. In most start-ups you can bring your proposed value to your customers at (almost) zero cost.

From there on, you iterate your MVP until product-market fit. Then scale it, bringing more and more customers.

First financial objective, having a stream of revenue from your start-up. so you can grow organically and quit your day job!

Solution: Bootstrap

We estimate for most start-ups, that within a total budget of 2K$-10K$, you can reach breakeven and start growing organically (while being attractive for investors) or even earn a salary from your start-up.

Schedule a call with us for a personal estimation!

Getting you from Zero to Product & Paying Customers within 3 months.

To product- market fit within 6 months.

Testimonials

We Reached Go Bootstrap after developing a mockup for over 10,000$ through another company. We figured that the product itself will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars that we did not have.
Gilad showed us that we don't need to raise investment, and how through Lean Start-Up, 300$ and a few hours of consulting, we can establish a professional platform that meets the needs of our customers with the uniqueness we promoted. We used Babel, bought an elaborated template, and after a few hours of freelance work, we adapted the template to our uniqueness.
Just amazing!

CEO, BeeBizi

Gilad (Go Bootstrap founder) managed the product in a masterly manner while bringing the needs of the customers into precisely defined features, which improved the application quickly and efficiently.
All this while he manages campaigns that have flowed more and more customers to the application.
He has a 360-degree perception of the startup's needs.
Highly recommend.

Working with the Israel365Media and Shlomo (Go Bootstrap marketing expert) was a great success from the first step.

I3M assisted us with the promotion of the our annual Jerusalem Post Conference helping us reach a new audience in the Evangelical and Jewish market through targeting a specific crowd we wanted to reach.

Shlomo also kindly sat down with us and gave us key advice for our Christian edition in terms of content and marketing.

We were extremely satisfied with the professional advice we received and the service from Tuly and Shlomo was perfect throughout the campaign. They really partner with you and think long term.

How far can you Go Bootstrap?

Inspiration from other bootstrapped companies

These companies started as bootstrap, some still are.

These examples have nothing to do with "Go Bootstrap", they just used bootstrapping to reach their goals.

Every journey starts with a small step. Go Bootstrap!
