Many companies today don’t get funded. Considering that, how does a startup survive tough competition, company growth, and unpredictable markets with virtually zero capital? To address these questions and concerns, the producers of Failchat have compiled a panel of founders who’ve been there and investors who’ve seen it happen. At the fourth installation of Failchat, panelists will discuss whether it’s possible to get by without funding, how to balance the budget if you try, and what problems you are likely to encounter. They’ll also explore what tools to use, how to stay lean, stories of what hasn’t worked, and other fundamentals of the self-funded process. Each FailChat attracts an intimate and targeted group of early-stage founders and entrepreneurs to discuss the common mistakes and missteps that startups and small businesses take.
