Why You Shouldn’t Raise VC (Yet): How to bootstrap with Carolyn Katz

Raising venture capital is not the only path to building a successful startup, and many founders need to grow their business to a meaningful stage before outside capital is even an option. Join Founder Institute for an in-person session focused on bootstrapping and seedstrapping as practical strategies for early-stage companies. Carolyn will share real-world lessons on funding your growth at the earliest stages, and how these approaches can strengthen your position whether you continue to bootstrap or eventually raise venture capital. Founders will also have the opportunity to share what they're building and receive concrete, practical ideas for funding their business. After the event there will be informal networking.
