Suggest you find a bar, restaurant, or office that will be willing for you to meet up, invite some tech people to do something techy (maybe give talks on what you've been working on). Companies are more likely to sponsor if you've got an audience, no real reason for Stripe etc. to give resources to every town that asks for them especially if you've not got any other people interested. Once you've got something of an audience then you've got a chance of reaching out to others who might be interested in a bootcamp. You might want to focus on PHP given that you're able to find in employment in PHP (and presumably not in Rails) or even in .Net if that's what people are doing locally. If you can't get a few techy people for drinks then you're unlikely to persuade people to come for a full bootcamp.
