AustrianStartups Stammtisch #32

Startups face a range of pivotal questions and the one we’re focusing on this month might directly define the growth trajectory of a business.
“To bootstrap or not to bootstrap?”
Sometimes this is simply not an option if you have no actual access to capital needed to grow your idea venture or project faster. Even more, some successful entrepreneurs are quite positive their success was a result of using very limited capital and self-funding in order to prove their concept and grow their business. To discuss starting a business without external help or capital we’ve invited a few local founders who have done exactly that. They funded the development of their startup through internal cash flow and were cautious with their expenses. We want to learn from their experiences and to highlight the up- and downsides of this approach.
