The Bootstrapped Startup Stack
Everything a pre-revenue team needs to find demand and close it, for less than one enterprise seat.
Why this stack
Before funding, every dollar is a decision. This stack proves you can run a credible go-to-market on a shoestring: free knowledge and CRM cores, an affordable AI writer for content, and a deal pipeline that costs less than lunch. It is deliberately built to stay under $100 a month until revenue says otherwise.
