No. The Assessment is useful context but not required. If you know your approximate revenue range and can describe your current role in the business, that's enough to start a productive first conversation. We'll surface the right diagnostic together.
A 30-minute equity review with a Bootstrapper Capital strategist — no slides, no pitch. We'll ask about your revenue, your owner role, and your three-year horizon. You'll leave with a written next step, even if that step isn't us.
No. The first conversation is complimentary. We do this because diagnosing the right starting point saves everyone time. If there's a fit, we'll describe what an engagement looks like. If there isn't, we'll say so and point you toward a resource that fits.
Standard email to hello@ returns a response within two business days. Paths marked with a faster window in the Intent Router above honor those windows for first contact. Complex inbound — capital partners, press, speaking — may take three to five business days depending on scheduling requirements.
