Bootstrap First, Raise Money Later

During this week’s roundtable, we had several companies that have bootstrapped to revenue and are seeking fresh funding to get to the next stage. This is consistent with our Bootstrap First, Raise Money Later philosophy. You can study the subject in this course.

First, though, we had a great conversation with Max Brickman from Heartland Ventures about his firm’s investment thesis.

You can listen to the recording of this roundtable here:

LIVID

First up, we had Matthias from Germany pitch LIVID, a high touch selling technology that is gaining its first traction in automotive.

Prosal

Next, we had Nick Lopez from the San Francisco Bay Area, pitch Prosal, a Saas company selling RFP management and business development software to SMB consulting firms.

DreamJob

Then we had Shazeeye Kirmani from Menlo Park, California, pitch DreamJob, an idea for upskilling tech professionals.

RogoFire

From Westminster, Colorado, we had Rod Goossen pitch RogoFire, a technology for managing fire fighter teams in action.
