Elena Krasnoperova: Tips for Bootstrappers To Hire Experts on Demand

Come join entrepreneurs who eat problems for breakfast. At a Bootstrappers Breakfast® we have serious conversations about growing a business based on internal cashflow and organic profit: this is for founders who are actively bootstrapping a startup.

The other attendees will all be in startups. It will be a chance to compare notes on operational, development, and business issues with peers.

July is "Delegate or Die / Trust but Verify" Month at the Bootstrapper Breakfast

Our featured attended for July 7 is Elena Krasnoperova, who will offer a short briefing on "Tips and Tricks for Bootstrappers Hiring Experts on Demand"

Elena Krasnoperova (https://www.linkedin.com/in/elenakrasnoperova) has hired a number of freelancers and contractors on an on-demand basis for graphic design, marketing, lead generation, web research, and software development. She will share lessons learned from a range of experiences--both good and bad--and offer some tips on hiring experts on demand.

Elena Krasnoperova is a former executive at eBay, PayPal, Zong and oDesk, the founder of two bootstrapped companies in the "family tech" space: SimplyCircle (http://www.simplycircle.com/) and Calroo (http://www.calroo.com/), and a Limited Partner at 500 Startups. She is a lifelong learner of all things business and entrepreneurship. Elena holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from Stanford University

In addition to Elena's briefing and our regular roundtable we are going to have a lightning round on delegating tasks to employees and contractors/freelancers. We will use two short chapters from Derek Sivers' (http://www.sivers.org/) "Anything Your Want (http://www.skmurphy.com/blog/2016/02/27/anything-you-want-by-derek-sivers/)" available on-line as a point of departure

Delegate or Die (https://sivers.org/delegate) Trust But Verify (https://sivers.org/trustbut) We meet in the back room, so space is limited — Please RSVP.
