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. Indeed, this is the domain of classic business initiatives. 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. These organizations have bootstrapping in their DNA and it is a matter of reminding them, bringing bootstrapping to the surface and systematizing it by tapping into the people, knowledge and resources of the organization.

To aid organizations in this process, the Bootstrap Network has designed a comprehensive Rebootstrap Initiative which:

Systematic Bootstrapping

#Teaches bootstrapping principles via a customized [[Bootstrap Bootcamp]], incorporating the founders' story.

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 and is co-developed with our customer. Often, an organization will have existing innovation programs underway and in these situations specific bootstrap-oriented interventions are needed to make them more effective.

NOTE: Rebootstrap initiatives are designed to be non-disruptive to an organization's day-to-day operations. The organization is akin to an aircraft carrier that has to consistently and reliably launch planes off its deck - this must continue without interruption. The Rebootstrap initiative is like a small room in the back of the ship where innovation activities can be quietly developed and nurtured.

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.
