About bootstrap

Amy Hoy

Amy Hoy, believes Europe is full of entrepreneurial spirit, but tech product entrepreneurs fall almost exclusively into the shoot-the-moon-and-boil-the-ocean category. That's why she started a conference, of course — so fantastic people come and tell us their stories. She's @amyhoy on Twitter.

Thomas Fuchs

Thomas Fuchs is a Vienna-born JavaScript guru and open-source aficionado and one-half of slash7, makers of Freckle and other fine products. He loves being his own boss and posts lots of silly rants as @thomasfuchs on Twitter.

Harald Eckmüller

Harald Eckmüller rants about UX, education & tech as @heckmueller, and sometimes shares a desk at slash7, working on his own bootstrapping ideas or coordinating the new media efforts of one of the most prestigious european conferences, the European Forum Alpbach.

Alex Hillman

Alex Hillman was the spark for creating SchnitzelConf and bootstrap in the first place, while scheming with Amy for the Year of Hustle. Alex does epic shit like IndyHall and is @alexknowshtml on Twitter.
