Techstars Startup Week Seattle 2017

When it comes to startup advice, there IS such a thing as too much of a good thing.

There is no shortage of advice when it comes to how to start and scale a company. Advisors, investors, fellow founders - they all have different perspectives and experiences to share, on a variety of topics from teams to fundraising. It can be overwhelming to balance these opinions and learn how to prioritize what’s right for each founder and company.

Come hear from other entrepreneurs, mentors and investors about the best (and worst) advice they’ve received, how they decide what advice to give to other founders, and how to go about navigating it all.

Wondering whether to bootstrap your business or raise funds from investors?  It’s a common dilemma and there will never be a one-size-fits-all answer.  Come join us as we hear from four companies facing this question today.  Our expert debaters - including two bootstrapping pros, two fundraising founders, and a moderator who has been on all sides including a turn as an angel investor  - will discuss the best path forward for these start-ups, teaching us all important lessons along the way.
