The Upstart Entrepreneur

This is a blog dedicated to bootstrapping, a new business term coined by software entrepreneur Greg Gianforte, founder of RightNow Technologies Inc. and Brightwork Development Inc. I found the story of Giaforte’s starting with nothing approach in Inc.com Magazine. You can read the entire article here. Now, I’m no software developer, but using the power of the Internet to join ideas with capital seemed like a good spin-off of Gianforte’s concept and compensates for the other thing none of us seem to have much of these days—time. The concept is to browse the entries presented here, see if one strikes your fancy and e-mail in for more details. In most cases this site is for the not completely monetary minded investor who wants to trade something they consider of value for the cash needed to start up the small (or not so small) business, but maybe we could work out a standard investor arrangement if you find an idea that trully inspires you. Those with ideas of their own are certainly welcome to add them in the comment section as well, but I can personally vouch for no such ideas. Enjoy.
