In this workshop, Louisa Wiethold will explain the bootstrapping principle, advantages and disadvantages and who bootstrapping is suitable for. Using examples and lessons learned from her own start-up story and other successful start-ups, she will put the topic into practice. The keynote speech shows a range of possibilities for individual start-up paths and is intended to motivate people to try things out and get started. Of course, there will also be a Q&A session where you can ask any questions you may have.
