BOOTSTRAPPERS BUSINESS ACADEMY · FREE ONLINE CLINIC
The Bootstrappers Business Growth Clinic.
Bring the question you didn’t ask in the room.
One hour, online, with Geeta Sidhu-Robb and guest expert Chelsey Downing, founder of Bab and Bark Media. For every founder who came to a Bootstrappers’ Breakfast this autumn, and every woman building on her own cashflow who wishes she had.

Why a clinic
The room keeps going.
Most women leave a Breakfast with one question they didn’t ask out loud. The pricing decision. The hire. The investor conversation they keep putting off.
This is the hour for that question. Send it when you register, and we’ll answer as many as we can, live, with real numbers and honest trade-offs.
Same rules as the Breakfasts. No pitching, no networking theatre, and nobody telling you that raising money is the only way to build something that counts.

“Building a business organically, backing your own ideas, managing your own growth and creating something sustainable takes an enormous amount of determination, resilience and hard work. That deserves to be recognised and celebrated just as much!”
