BootStrapCamp - Find Connect Grow

So, its 2009 and it seems we are in a rising market for startups, the passion and enthusiasm is growing expodentially day by day, but also there is a problem as well, that is hindering all of us, money. Investors are having to rethink their pot of money, as they will need more to keep their portfolios boyount and ready for sale, but also the valuations of those sales have decreased, thus they do not know how much they need for the future.

So on a virgin train home from London, and having a thinking moment, Bootstrapcamp was born as a concept, then became reality after speaking to Simon Grice and David Petherick who then helped nurture the idea, from something complicated to its simplest form - bartering.

What is bootstrapcamp ?

Its an event by the community for the community, to bring together people with skills and resources to meet, so they can barter and trade those skills and resources with others.

What does that mean in English ?

I Stewart Townsend have a large network of contacts and a passion for bright shirts, that is my skills.

I require some Wordpress skills to create some personal blogs for me.

I meet Mr/Mrs Wordpress skills person at BootStrap Camp and define to them, what I require and what I can offer in return.

We agree on this.

Then deliver on this.

Then put this transaction up on the wiki, to show this has took place and value and rate this deal.

So we swop our skills, both receive something we require and then rate each other, to make it clear to the community how well it went, would we work together again.
