Ep 14: Bootstrapping A Business In The Face Of Well-Funded Competition (with Laura Roeder)
So you want to start a business? No problem. You want to bootstrap it yourself? Okay. You want to position yourself directly against huge competitors and play them at their own game? You've got guts!

Recorded live at Business of Software Europe 2018 in Cambridge UK. For more talks from BoS conferences, go to businessofsoftware.org/videos
