observes community in order to understand the community, learn casually, and identify resources that may be helpful in his/her particular venture.

Participants are members of the bootstrap community that take on a limited level of involvement. Becoming a participant within the group is predicated on the desire to contribute mutually to those in the organization. A participant, while a bootstrapper, usually does not consider the Bootstrap Community to be one of the top 3 organizations that they participate in. The goal of the typical participant is casual learning, and keeping their eyes open for beneficial activities throughout the group.
