Cash or Glory: The Founder's “Exit” Dilemma
Every successful startup faces the “grow vs sell” dilemma. This question is one of the hardest entrepreneurs make in their life; making matters worse, it is almost always conducted behind closed doors under lock and key, leaving others with little-to-no guide. In this panel we’ve recruited Jim Curry, co-founder at BuildGroup, expert in growth capital, and Rob Taylor, Co-Founder & CEO of Pivot Freight, a SaaS software company helping retailers, to discuss this debate and leave the audience with tactical advice on everything from analytical approaches to evaluating your team, technology, business model, and product-market fit, to helping you assess environmental opportunities and threats.
