Last March I led a panel at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference on building web-based companies on micro-budgets. I was really pleased with all the speakers and thought they shared a wealth of information about how they’ve been able to achieve success at launching their services.

podcast from SXSW.

Here is the panel description:
Do it yourself web production is rivaling even the biggest internet players. Zero budgets or even nascent skills are no longer a barrier to launching successful web projects. Teams of two or three can accomplish what used to take large groups to produce. Learn how these bootstrappers used their abilities to turn good ideas into huge accomplishments without going into life-long debt or making a deal with the devil.
