This Workshop is for Founders

• With a startup idea that you think can scale
• That have traction but still spending more than you make
• Already bootstrapping, thinking of raising but unsure if they are investible

With these questions

• How can I build my MVP without going broke?
• How much money and time do I need?
• What should I spend on? How can I save?
• How can I go further and last longer?
• How can we survive while our main idea isn't generating enough revenue?
• When am I investible?
• What have other Startup PH founders done?

A common misconception is that founders are able to immediately raise money once they have an idea. That's unfortunately not true.

Raise to grow, not to survive. To survive, you want to bootstrap.

What is it?

This is a 2 x 4 hrs, output-driven, interactive, live, and online workshop where startup founders learn how to sustain themselves despite the absence of outside funding.

Key Takeaways

• Predict how much you need and when (or how much you're short!)
• Actionable and copy-able best practices from Startup PH founders on how to they bootstrapped and survived the early stages
• Determine if it's time for you to fundraise or if you need to keep bootstrapping - and tips on becoming investible
• No traction yet? Or testing a different revenue model? Learn how to test your pricing ideas with real customers to get the feedback you need
• BONUS #1: A list of grants and funding for no-traction, idea-stage startups
• BONUS #2: A 3rd session for those that want to share and keep learning with fellow founders.
