Promises & Pitfalls: Three Bootstrapping Stories
Description:
Access to funding is one of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs just starting out. And this is especially true when seeking external capital in the very early stages of bringing an idea to life.
For many, bootstrapping is a necessity; For others, it is a choice. And as rewarding as it can be to self-fund your company, the road of bootstrapping can also be a risky endeavor fraught with pitfalls.
In this session, you’ll hear three founders tell the story of how they bootstrapped their own businesses, ranging from early-stage experience to multi-company success.
