I am involved in bootstrapping a company developing solutions to improve outcomes in psychotherapy. Great feedback so far but no one has income from the project...yet.
Recently a fellow entrepreneur (non-tech) asked me for some advice about how to get his website off of the ground. He has one particularly complex requirement - a configuration tool for his product. Previously I told him how to find the resources he would need to get it built. While I can visualize exactly how his tool needs to be programmed, it would be difficult for me to find the time to help him myself.
If it will help me get to BoS this year I will make the time and offer to build the app for him myself, for free (hoping my wife will forgive me). The cost of developing this app would easily be greater than the conference cost. Having known this guy for a few years I will take it one step further and ask that he pay it forward too, I know he will. Trying to keep the positive energy flowing.
Having watched a lot of the videos from the previous BoS conferences I know attending in person would be invaluable.

Good luck to all, thanks for the opportunity.
