Part of the talk: Take the Money or Run?

Capital, control and the consequences of how you choose to grow

Should you raise capital - or build on your own terms?
Every growth path comes with a price: VC funding can bring speed, ambition and access, but also pressure, expectations and a new set of obligations, while bootstrapping can preserve freedom and control, but may also limit pace, resources and opportunities.

In this panel, founders and investors share honest perspectives on the choices behind growth: when capital makes sense, when it becomes expensive, and what founders should ask themselves before choosing their path.
