I bootstrapped my start-up using a three step process: 1) Spent less than I made at my "job" so I could save up a few months of a cash-buffer 2) Start my own simple business with a bulletproof business plan (ultra-low overhead, high-margin, self-reliant) 3) Save up enough money to throw in the hat with a strong group of like-minded self-starters who can afford not to get paid for a year and can build their own disco while covering hard costs
