Got a great idea for a business, artistic project or non-profit organization – but little or no access to capital? Not interested in taking on someone else’s business model for a project that is as unique as your personality? Well, the good news is that there are other ways to transform your brainstorm into a real-life, money-making entity. Learn about these alternative options at the 2008 SXSW Interactive Festival at 3:30 on Monday, March 10 with a panel titled “Bootstrapping 101: The Basic Building Blocks”. This session will be led by Bijoy Goswami (pictured above), co-founder of the Bootstrap Network, an organization dedicated to the belief that ideas are most fully developed without the pressures of funding. If you want even more information on this topic, then stick around at 5:00 for “Bootstrapping Through Entrepreneur Collaboration Networks”. This follow-up session will give you additional guidance on how startups can grow into successful businesses without taking on debt.
