Tickets are no longer available for this event.
Event Description
Welcome to FailChats, based on the groundbreaking FailCon:the first conference ever to focus on the ins and outs of business failure, and how to prepare.
Many companies today don’t get funded. Considering that, how does a small startup survive tough competition, company growth, and unpredictable markets with virtually zero capital? It definitely happens and to help everyone learn how, we’ve compiled a panel of founders who've been there and investors who have seen it happen. We’ll be discussing whether its possible to get by without funding, how to balance the budget if you try, and what problems you are likely to encounter. We’ll also be getting into 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. Beer, wine, non-alcoholic beverages, and appetizers are provided throughout the seminar.
