Sramana Mitra: Bootstrapping – Weapon of Mass Reconstruction
Sramana Mitra
Last evening I attended a meeting of eBig’s Startups / VCs SIG. Sramana Mitra’s presentation, “Bootstrapping – Weapon of Mass Reconstruction”, was highly informative for the entrepreneurs in attendance.
Her first comment was one with which I agree completely: There is too much emphasis on on venture capital funding – few businesses qualify, and other forms of financing allow the entrepreneur to retain greater control and a larger share of the business. (See Realistic Financing Options for Startup Companies.)
Sramana then proceeded to expose a large number of myths about entrepreneurship, and she finished by answering attendees’ questions.
The Entrepreneur Journeys page of Sramana’s blog provides a large number of informative interviews with entrepreneurs from around the world.
