Invest - o - pre - neur - ship: a less risky approach to entrepreneurship.
The journey of life is definitely a real thing. At this stage of my journey, I'm trying my very hardest to use my own life experiences to teach my kids a less risky approach to entrepreneurship and investing.
Over time, I have fondly come to call this less risky approach, 'investopreneurship', and started to write this weekly newsletter, which then evolved into a YouTube channel, and hopefully someday, a movement of folks pursuing their own freedom in life by leveraging the power of financial literacy & entrepreneurship.
Hi, my name is Chris & I proudly run a poor man's version of Berkshire Hathaway, called Bootstrapper Capital, where we build, buy & sell simple, profitable businesses every single day.
This newsletter is my weekly recap of the structures, strategies and stories we pick up along the way & a simple way for me to document things for my kiddos to digest (hopefully) when they get older.
We also run a little community where folks build, buy and sell simple, profitable businesses together - every single day. It's over at bootstrappercapital.com & you should check it out if you want.
Our team at Bootstrapper Capital literally builds, buys and sells simple, profitable businesses -every single day. Our goal is to build a $100M+ portfolio 100% #inpublic. It's a crazy big number for a boostrapper, but we actually have a pretty simple & actionable plan to get there!
This newsletter was launched to share practical strategies, stories and methodologies we have learned along the way, with hopes of helping you on your journey to bootstrap a better lifestyle for yourself, and your family.
Fondly referring to ourselves as 'the poor man's Berkshire', we have had to bootstrap our businesses the hard way, unable to rely on boatloads of 'venture' money. Each and every mistake we've made has hurt, and because of that an important lesson is often-times learned, which we share in this newsletter. That is mostly what we write about.
Outside of our own experience, we look to interview other bootstrapping capitalists who are willing to share practical advice.
Each week we promise to provide at least one meaningful insight, strategy, tip, connection, discount, or anything else of the matter that would help a bootstrapper get more profitable.
End of the day, this entire thing may not turn out to be good -- BUT -- if it is, then you'll be getting:
- Insights on our own buy, build & sell journey
- Strategies we use to build and grow companies after acquisition
- How we source deals
- How we structure deals
- How we finance deals
- How we take risk off the table to maximize upside
- and, probably more.

Structure.
Work 1-1 with an Operating Partner to implement a super simple business operating system specifically designed for bootstrappers to help get you to operational excellence.
Strategies.
Once you work through the business OS, your Operating Partner will work with you to design hand-picked growth strategies that will drive top of line revenue.
Accountabilities.
After your structure & strategies are all in place your Operating Partner will set a calendar cadence with you to hold you accountable around executing to get to profitable outcomes.
Get To Profitable Outcomes & Then Exit.
1-on-1 For 30 Days w. an Operating Partner
Wait, what's the catch? Nothing in life is really ever free?! Well, since you asked, because our Operating Partners have skin-in-the-game doing deals inside our $100M portfolio, they are looking to find new opportunities that they can build meaningful relationships with & hopefully make an acquisition offer to at the end of the program.
Following their WHY, each Operating Partner will commit to working with you for 30 days through this program 100% for free and give you the structure, strategies and accountability you need to get to profitable outcomes.
Apply1-on-1 Experience.
Unlike some "course" or "video program" you will ACTUALLY be working 1-on-1 with one of our Operating Partners from your very first call all the way through to execution.
ApplyPractical Resources.
To support a structure approach, we will provide you with our Business OS ($1.5k value) for free & your Operating Partner will work with you to map our structure & strategies to follow.
ApplyReal Results.
We want you to have a great experience so that you decide to continue to build along side us in our community afterwards. As a kicker, we may even try to acquire you!

ApplyOur Journey Bootstrapping a $100M Portfolio
We believe that everyone should have the freedom to pursue the outcomes in life that will provide the opportunity to live happy, healthy, fulfilling lives. To do this for ourselves, we started off on the journey of building, buying and selling simple, profitable businesses. Now, we have the privilege of doing it every single day along side a community of other investopreneurs at BootstrapperCapital.com.
To both help us perfect our craft + create a better deal pipeline (full transparency) we launched this free micro-accelerator to get more fellow bootstrappers engaged and apart of our journey.
That is why after you complete this program we would like to invite you to join us in our invite only community & we may also make you an offer to acquire your business outright. Right now, we have a goal of doing 100 deals per year, every year, for the next 10 years -- and in the process would like to help create 1,000+ millionaires.
