Building a business is hard enough, but bootstrapping takes it to a whole new level of resilience, resourcefulness, creativity, and determination.

In this session, Lloyed Lobo dove headfirst into the thrilling world of bootstrapping, where entrepreneurs dared to dream big without the luxury of external funding.

Lloyed Lobo, an entrepreneur, podcast host, and community builder, experienced the Gulf War as a young refugee in Kuwait, witnessing the strength of the community in evacuating the population to safety. As the co-founder of the fintech platform Boast.Al, he leveraged the community-led growth model to bootstrap the company to $10 million in annual recurring revenue while also co-founding Traction, a community empowering more than 100k innovators through connections, content, and capital. Lloyed is also the author of ‘From Grassroots To Greatness: 13 Rules to Build Iconic Brands with Community Led Growth’.
