Bootstrap Your Way to 1 Billion 

Kass & Mike did it, Now they will Show You How!

Meet Kass & Mike Lazerow

Too many entrepreneurs believe they need investors, capital, or funding just to get started. They think money is the missing piece. It isn’t.

Kass & Mike Lazerow have proven that nothing is impossible when you know how to bootstrap with strategy, discipline, and the right relationships.

They built Golf.com from scratch and sold it. Then they bootstrapped Buddy Media all the way to a billion-dollar exit to Salesforce — with no venture money, no private equity, and no outside capital.

 

Now, they will show you exactly how they did it. Step by step.
  • How they built when they had nothing
  • How they structured their decisions

  • How they leveraged relationships

  • How they created opportunities instead of waiting for them

  • How they thought differently, acted differently, and executed differently

  • And most importantly, how they would do it today if they were starting from zero — just like you.

What is bootstrapping?

Bootstrapping means building a business without outside capital, without investors, and without relying on anyone else’s money. It forces discipline, clarity, creative problem solving, and real profitability, because you grow only through performance.

Bootstrapped companies are sharper, more resilient, more efficient, and far more valuable because the founders keep control and keep the equity.

Kass & Mike Lazerow proved what most entrepreneurs believe is impossible. They built Golf.com from nothing and sold it. Then they bootstrapped Buddy Media all the way to a billion-dollar exit to Salesforce without raising a single dollar.

JT Foxx built all 84+ of his businesses the exact same way: no investors, no outside money, just strategy, relationships, execution, and discipline.

This event shows you why bootstrapping is the smartest path to wealth and exactly how these three built empires with nothing but ideas, resourcefulness, and the right thinking.

What is this event about?

Kass & Mike have never done an event. They are full-time dealmakers who focus on building, scaling, and investing. After exiting Buddy Media to Salesforce for over a billion and building a portfolio of more than 50 companies, their world revolves around deals, investments, and creating impact at scale.

But after writing their New York Times and USA Today best-selling book, they felt something was missing. They felt an itch to give back, to share more, to help entrepreneurs think bigger and move faster.

So they decided to create a two-day experience where they reveal everything: how they built their companies, how they built their relationships, the trials, the tribulations, the pressure moments, the hiring, the vetting, the growing of people, the building of teams, and the networking with some of the most successful people on the planet.

This is the real secret sauce behind why they win, and how you can apply the same thinking, strategy, and execution to your own business starting now.

Bonus Experience

Happening The Day Before The Event

The day before the event, Kass & Mike are doing something they have never done. Not once. Not for anyone.

They are opening the doors to the most insider business experience you will ever see. You will gain access to people who are almost impossible to reach, see things most entrepreneurs never see, and step into a world that is normally closed to everyone except their inner circle.

This is a rare opportunity to build a real relationship with Kass & Mike at a level that very few ever achieve.

We cannot officially tell you what the experience includes, but we can tell you this: when you discover what it is, you will realize it is the greatest business move you have ever made and the most unforgettable business experience of your life.

This is access. This is proximity. This is the moment that changes everything.
