Raising capital for an entrepreneur can be a frustrating process. But there is an alternative. Some entrepreneurs are choosing to bootstrap their business and the decline of technology costs makes this easier than ever.

Hear from four entrepreneurs that are successfully building their software companies with no outside funding. They will offer their tips on how to get started, what has worked well and mistakes they made along the way.

They will also talk about how they have leveraged open source technologies, cloud computing and outsourced services to help drive down their costs over the years.

As with past events, we will save plenty of time for networking & audience Q&A. 

Panelists:

• Joe Colopy, CEO, Bronto
• Kent Hudson, CEO, SchoolDude
• Jesse Lipson, CEO, ShareFile (acquired recently by Citrix)
• Troy McConnell, CEO, Clever On Demand
