Description

You have a dream, but need capital to get it off the ground. In this tight funding market do you sit around and wait for that VC or angel ship to come in, or do you decide to lace up your own boots and do everything you can to make it happen now?

In this webinar you will hear from entrepreneurs who made the choice to not wait around for funding, and as a result have turned their ideas into successful companies. They will give insight into the following topics:

* Risk vs Reward - How do you know if it makes sense to bootstrap your idea?
* Keep your Day Job - The stress of self funding with no income can sometimes lead to failure
* Cash Flow - How to get a handle on your most important business aspect
* How to market your business on a shoestring budget
