Check out THE Product Bus

From The Product Bus comes The Bootstrap: Building Startups from Scratch – your weekly source of news and practical support for bootstrapping founders – or founders building their business with their own effort and funds and no external investors.

The Bootstrap unpacks strategies that any founder can apply to make smart, data-informed decisions as they navigate the early stages of building a startup. We focus on helping founders avoid the common pitfalls that stop many great ideas from becoming a reality.

Each episode, we start with one or two news items that bootstrapping founders need to know, and then host Scotty Allen (Founder of The Product Bus) is joined by a guest who brings their experience and subject matter to a specific topic with practical, actionable strategies that founders can take away and apply immediately to their own business.
