Most businesses can be launched in a capital efficient manner. Most businesses can go a long way in a bootstrapped mode. As long as you’re not taking on capital guzzlers like drug discovery or semiconductor chips, you have many options to explore.
At 1Mby1M, we don’t insist on fund raising. A bootstrapped, capital-efficient, million-dollar business is considered a success in our worldview, as long as you are profitable and sustainable.
What is bootstrapping? It’s what happens when you use your own resources, which you control, to build a business.
The first six courses below focus on different bootstrapping methods, so if you study all of them ahead of time, you’ll be able to cross the first barrier of getting your venture off the ground.

Healthcare is one of the fastest-growing startup sectors.
First, a bit of my own bias on the automation versus human debate.
If you think about what a doctor needs to do to diagnose an illness, she needs to consider all the symptoms, take into account all the test results, consider all the treatment options, factor in all the side-effects of various medications and their interplay with other medications the patient is already taking. This is, effectively, a multi-variate optimization problem that a doctor has to do in her head. And, she needs to keep up with all the new research and advances in medical science, and factor those in as well. The field of medicine is full of incorrect diagnosis and mistreatment of illnesses. Now, if you replace this whole process with software, medical diagnosis becomes a truly scientific, deterministic process. I can tell you, if I have the option of being diagnosed by software versus a human doctor, I would always prefer software. It will be far more accurate.
If the medical profession can be automated to that extent, billions of people can have access to quality medical care. Today, this number is relatively low.
Entrepreneurs have a tremendous opportunity ahead.
