Top Voted Definition for #bootstrap

#bootstrap - to fund a startup company with only the founder's/co-founder's own money or financing (can include personal/business loans, credit cards, and sometimes also close friends or family loans). The term comes from an old American phrase "To pull oneself up from his own bootstraps." Incidentally, it's also where the terms "boot/reboot a computer" are derived from.
