Subgroups by Core Energy
NOTE: MRE subgroups are open to bootstrappers in all stages
An essential part of every bootstrapper's journey, particularly in Ideation, is the discovery of their Core Energy. Knowing core energy helps focus and deepen our strengths while seeking out complementing dance partner(s). While there are many ways to assess personality including Meyers-Briggs, DISC, etc., we use the Maven, Relater, Evangelist or MRE Framework developed by Bijoy Goswami to create a common vocabulary among bootstrap members.
Maven Subgroup - for Bootstrap Mavens
Relater Subgroup - for Bootstrap Relaters
Evangelist Subgroup - for Bootstrap Evangelists
Initiatives in Ideation: Bootstrap Labs
