Systems to support rebootstrap effort. Split into the core which feeds the main products/services and new bootstraps i.e. the [[Preideation]] stage

#Shepherds small bootstrap teams through Ideation, VoD and Growth
 
#Supports the initiative using unique web-based tools
 
  
Every Rebootstrap Initiative is also bootstrapped: it starts slowly and carefully, meeting the organization where it is and is co-developed with our customer. Often, an organization will have existing innovation programs underway. In these situations specific bootstrap-oriented interventions can make these programs more effective.

As companies evolve through the stages of Ideation, Valley of Death and Growth, they move into a sustained period where optimization and improvement of the discoveries from the first VoD occur. There comes a time, however, when large companies need to rebootstrap themselves, i.e. tap into bootstrapping as an innovation process to develop entirely new products and services. The Bootstrap Network helps large companies with internal rebootstrap efforts through its Rebootstrap Program.
