r/bootstrapping is a subreddit with 2k members. The community frequently discusses startup, bootstrapping, saas, business, and product.
This community is for people who like to start, build, and grow companies, but try to do so without outside equity capital. There are endless resources out there for people who want to try to raise funds, but very little for those who want to build a self-funded, self-sustaining (i.e. bootstrapped) company. This subreddit is here to fill that gap.
