Ultimately, the cold-hard facts on bootstrapping will be presented. Practically speaking, most entrepreneurs should avoid bootstrapping. However, realistically, most entrepreneurs will need to engage in some form of bootstrapping. The argument then, importantly, shifts to how should one bootstrap? In this era of lean start-ups, effectuation, and bricolage, bootstrapping is oft romanticized but seldom analyzed. This book is different from other bootstrapping books in two key ways. First, it draws on evidence from scientific study to offer best practices. Second, it utilizes this evidence to help entrepreneurs thrive-- not just survive. 410 0$aBabson College entrepreneurship research conference collection.$x2372-0530 606 $aNew business enterprises$xFinance 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aBootstrapping 610 $anew venture strategy 610 $anew venture finance 615 0$aNew business enterprises$xFinance. 676 $a658.15224 700 $aRutherford$b Matthew W.$0952751 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460624103321 996 $aStrategic bootstrapping$92154025 997 $aUNINA
