ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
Bootstrapping your business can seem like a difficult task. Many entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs don’t have the unlimited funds and resources they need to truly develop their ideas.
However, don’t let that scare you from trying new things.
Bootstrapping, in the long run, is the perfect strategy to build superior products and achieve significant growth without external funding, as long as you focus on profitability and sustainability.
To discuss this in more detail, I’ve invited an expert on the podcast today.
Her name is Melissa Kwan and she is the founder of not one, not two, but three tech businesses (all three bootstrapped), as well as a multitalented intrapreneur.
Her latest company, eWebinar, was born out of her own frustrations with the repetitive live webinars she needed to attend to onboard and train clients on her products.
From the beginning, Melissa’s founder’s journey was always about solving real-life problems, and nothing shows this more than eWebinar.
In this episode, Melissa will be discussing her bootstrap philosophy and why she follows it, how to be profitable as a bootstrap startup, the importance of focusing on simplicity and user experience when innovating, and more.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
When then, what are you waiting for?
