If there is anything that bootstrappers like to do more than think about and talk about their own startup businesses, it is listening to other bootstrappers talking about their startup businesses.

So the new series of guest posts on Seattle's TechFlash technology news website called "Startup Confidential" should be right up your alley.

Following Seattle entrepreneurs Damon Cortesi and Aviel Ginsburg as they launch their own startup, the series promises to unveil many of the normally obscured process of making the sausage that goes into a new startup. Posts so far have covered such sticky subjects as determining equity distribution and dividing up project responsibilities with a limited but mutually dependent team. The posts are written by Damon and Aviel themselves, so you get all the raw content and emotion that comes from having real stakes involved; decisions to miss deadlines over personal lives are laid bare. These are trials that most entrepreneurs go through but few expose to the world.
