The Bootstrap Montana Loan Program was seeded by Greg Gianforte, CEO of Bozeman-based Right
Now Technologies and head of the Gianforte Family Charitable Trust. Established in 2007, the
program is seeking to loan funds to Montana entrepreneurs who embrace the business development
philosophy of ‘bootstrapping’—or growing a company without the aid of outside (equity) investment
capital.

Bootstrap Montana is a program administered by Montana’s
leading Economic Development Assistance Organization, TechRanch http://www.techranch.org
