Bootstrap Advisors

Bootstrap Advisors is a Durham, North Carolina-based venture partner founded in 2015 by three partners who have collaborated for more than a decade. The firm positions itself as hands-on transformers rather than mere incubators or investors, investing their time and own capital to turn ideas into scalable products and companies. They work with entrepreneurs to develop brands and businesses, leveraging a history of starting multiple ventures, scaling several to multi-million-dollar levels and exiting others to strategic buyers. Bootstrap Advisors seeks opportunities across sectors including B2C, information technology, manufacturing, food technology, and software as a service, with a focus on the Southeast United States. The team emphasizes practical support and active involvement to help early-stage concepts reach market success and growth, combining entrepreneurial experience with a disciplined approach to building sustainable businesses.
