Logo Design Brief

We need a logo design for a new business called Bootstrappen.com. 80-95% of all start-ups rely on creative ways to finance their venture without raising equity or borrowing money (i.e., they bootstrap). This is a community dedicated to self-sufficiency, hard work, and the passion to create your own future. We will offer a virtual community where bootstrappers can connect to interactive tools designed to gauge the riskiness of their business design, relative to the bootstrappers who have made it. In addition to customized feedback on their business plan, the community will provide real time metrics on the state of bootstrappen across the U.S.and will connect to a community of entrepreneurs for business advice, and access to management talent looking for sweat equity opportunities as well as a range of creative funding options designed to keep ownership of their business in the hands of the bootstrappers.

Target Market(s)

There are two: bootstrappers starting their own business and local investors looking for an alternative to stocks and bonds.
