Hello everyone and welcome to another incredible episode of the Talk2Rami “Founder's Series” Podcast, where I interview movers and shakers, as to why they do what it is exactly they do!In today's episode, I had the amazing opportunity to sit down with my friend, author, and entrepreneur: Bijoy Goswami! Raised in India, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, Bijoy moved to the US in 1991 to attend Stanford, where he studied economics, history and computer science. He was an Oxford scholar and completed an Honors program in Science, Technology & Society. In 1995, he joined Trilogy Software in Austin, TX, where he worked for five years in business development, sales, consulting, and product management. In 2000 he cofounded Aviri with Bruce Krysiak. This led to the MRE Model and The Human Fabric. In 2003 Bijoy started Bootstrap Austin, a community for entrepreneurs pursuing the bootstrap path of entrepreneurship. Over the next 7 years, the community became a learning lab for bootstrapping, resulting in the Bootstrap Method. Learn more about Bijoy here: https://www.bijoygoswami.com/
JP has created multiple ventures, with Paul Mitchell and Patrón Tequila being just two of the most well-known. In this interview with Bootstrap Austin founder, Bijoy, he reflects on his bootstrap entrepreneurial journey building Paul Mitchell with his eponymous cofounder. He uses the lens of the Bootstrap Map and in his own inimitable JP way, renames one of the stages too! BootRap ATX is produced by Brian Massey of the Intended Consequences Podcast.
