Description
So you know the deal, it's 1% idea and 99% perspiration.

Part of the 99% perspiration bit includes surviving through financial hardships and creating money to keep the business going. In a world where "fundraising" has many times overshadowed "creating a steady revenue stream" during the early stages of technology development, we decided to revisit this topic at The Carrot Patch to help attendees make better decisions moving forward with their business finances. Deciding whether to bootstrap or raise funds from investors is not an easy decision, and both will cost you, it's just a matter of how much?

So come join us for an evening of sharing and learning from founders who have been there and done that. The EAT Launchpad, along with Aegis Partners, bring you Founder lessons to help you solve some of your most difficult problems you may encounter while building a startup so you can be empowered to solve even bigger problems!
