The Art of Bootstrapping: Launching a Tech Startup on a Budget - Conor Woods - NIDC 2023 - Conf 2B

"The Art of Bootstrapping: Launching a Tech Startup on a Budget" - Conor Woods - Conf Room 2B

This talk is for my fellow developers who are big dreamers working with not-so-big budgets. It's about transforming constraints into opportunities for innovation and refusing to let a lean budget stand in the way of your startup dreams.

Over the past five years, while working at a startup agency and transforming dreams into market-ready, scalable, products, I've learned a thing or two about leveraging our innate developer resourcefulness and innovation to overcome these challenges.

From effective use of open source tools, cloud-based services to cost-effective development practices, expect a deep dive into the technical aspects of launching a startup on a budget.

The talk aims to share hard-earned knowledge from the trenches. I'll not only guide you on how to navigate startup costs, but I'll also share practical advice on how to dramatically reduce these expenses, down close to zero.

This talk will break down the tech costs you're likely to encounter when launching your tech startup and what choices there are for the frugal founder. Based on my hands-on experience working with multiple startups all on a shoestring budget, I'll share effective tool & strategies that will let you make an impact without a big budget.

We'll also delve into the art of harnessing the latest technologies without breaking the bank. I'll share practical tips and tricks on how to tap into the most exciting tech out there, even when resources are tight.
