Founder Roundtable: Bootstrapping Your Business

Founder Roundtable: Bootstrapping Your Business

Bath SETsquared Innovation CentreBath, Avon
Thursday, Feb 26, 2026 from 11 am to 12 pm GMT
Overview

A space to share the challenges and questions you have around sales, and to explore them together with fellow founders and sales experts.

Founder Roundtable: Bootstrapping Your Business

Not every business begins with a grant or an investor cheque. Many are built by bootstrapping - using the resources you have, generating revenue early, and growing step by step.

On Thursday, 26th February, 11:00–12:00, SETsquared Bath members are invited to join a roundtable exploring what bootstrapping really means for founders today.

This is your chance to share challenges and experiences with peers, and to explore the questions that matter most with two expert guests and our Entrepreneurs in Residence. Together, we could look at:

  • How bootstrapping shapes the way you build in the early stages
  • Whether it is the best way to maintain control of your business
  • The trade-offs involved in growing without external finance
  • How new tools and platforms make it easier to build products, websites and services with minimal upfront cost
  • Whether a bootstrapped business may be more attractive to investors later on

The aim is to leave with a clearer view of what bootstrapping could mean for your company, and practical insight into how to approach it in a way that supports your long-term goals.

Places are limited and available by application to SETsquared Bath members.
