S2 E12 - Bootstrapping a Successful Startup

How many domains do you currently own? One for your blog, maybe one for your email, a family website or two, oh, and of course a bunch of domains for those awesome side projects and ideas you have. Side projects can be fun, challenging, and rewarding. Have you ever thought about what it might take or look like to bootstrap your own side project and successfully launch a new startup? Join the panelists of the Angular Show as we have the opportunity to spend some time with Niall Crosby, the founder, and CEO of AG Grid. Niall shares with us the story of how he got started building AG Grid, some of the early decisions he made, and how he was able to bootstrap and launch a successful startup. AG Grid is the best JavaScript grid in the world. And, as such, it wasn't built in a day (kinda like Rome, which we think is quite promising). If you're not familiar with AG Grid, head over to thinkster.io or check out some of the free workshops that our very own Brian Love has delivered for teaching you AG Grid, from the basics to the most advanced use cases. This is an episode of the Angular Show that you don't want to miss, especially if you're eager to be an entrepreneur or if you're considering launching your own company.
