“Bootstrapping Your Business will fill your cup with vision, inspiration, and practical tips on the art of bootstrapping. ”
--Rich Karlgaard, Publisher Forbes Magazine

"Bootstrapping Your Business speaks to the essence of entrepreneurship. Many entrepreneurs believe that they have to run amok trying to raise money. Sticking to building your product and then going out and selling it, in fact produces money, customers and success."
--Rob Ryan, Founder Ascend Communications and Founder Entrepreneur America

"The best money comes from customers, not investors. That is a recurring theme in Greg Gianforte’s terrific Bootstrapping Your Business. Selling a product or service early in the life of a company provides great feedback and the cash needed to refine the idea. Every entrepreneurial venture – indeed, every company - could benefit from this simple but powerful insight. This book should be required reading for all entrepreneurs!"
--Professor Bill Sahlman, Harvard Business School

“I've personally witnessed Greg start companies from scratch and build them into multi-million dollar enterprises -- without playing the venture funding game that baffles and entangles so many other entrepreneurs. I can't think of anyone who is more qualified to author a book like this or who has more valuable advice about how to successfully bootstrap a business from concept to profitability.”
--Lenny Liebmann, featured columnist in Network Magazine and Communications News, former contributing editor at Internet Week and Success Magazine, and a 20-year veteran of the high-tech industry.

"Bootstrapping Your Business is filled with great insights on how to start and grow a highly successful business on very little capital even in a remote place like Bozeman, Montana. Every would-be entrepreneur should read this book for its fresh ideas and unique perspective."
--Thomas Weisel, CEO Thomas Weisel Partners

"Bootstrapping Your Business is incredible! This is the most practical read that I've had in a while. However, I must say it is causing me great angst. I find myself wondering if I'm missing an opportunity out there. Within the first 20 pages I was formulating product ideas."
- Mary Wardley, VP IDC

"An accomplished serial entrepreneur, Greg Gianforte shares his story -- and many others collected through his work with Marcus Gibson -- of applying the 'bootstrapping' philosophy to achieve long-term personal and financial success. 'Bootstrapping' may have only recently caught on in Silicon Valley, but it's a time-tested business approach which Greg and the other wily entrepreneurs profiled here have used in building great companies and great teams. Greg's most recent creation, RightNow Technologies, is a terrific example of how this philosophy can lead to great commercial results, personal fulfillment and even a wildly successful IPO."
