Overview
An inspiring story of ingenuity and can-do spirit. In 1974, John Miller, a young mechanical engineer from rural North Dakota, left his job to found a company manufacturing computer components on a Native American reservation in his home state. It was a risky undertaking. Formerly with UNIVAC in St. Paul, where he led the engineering and manufacturing teams for groundbreaking computer designs commissioned by the US Navy, Miller had experience and know-how. But he started Turtle Mountain Corporation with one customer, an end-of-life product, and no capital. Weathering a recession, inflation, and upheavals in the tech industry, his company earned the trust of major customers like IBM, Honeywell, and 3M and created hundreds of jobs for a generation of families on and around the Turtle Mountain Reservation. In 2000, he sold his business for close to $20 million. Bootstrap Entrepreneur is an inspiring true story packed with entertaining anecdotes. It includes little-known facts about World War II projects leading to the birth of the modern computer and events that impacted the quality movement. Well researched, it uncovers the hidden history of America's computer revolution. Miller's business memoir holds valuable lessons for every budding entrepreneur on topics like employee engagement, customer satisfaction, product-market fit, sales, bankers, lawyers, and quality management. Bootstrap Entrepreneur is a must-read for leaders seeking inspiration, founders looking for ideas, and for anyone who enjoys a fascinating story about American ingenuity and can-do spirit.
