Bootstrapping - How to fund you startup without angels and VCs | Nordic founders
You need an Angel/VC to start/grow your company - is a motto everybody in startup scene keeps repeating. While it is a great idea to attract capital, very frequently you can skip seed round entirely (and save quite a bit of equity) if you manage to get cash flow from somewhere else. For example, by doing part-time consulting.
Meetup guest speakers Michael Ljungqvist and Susanna Kekäläinen from eWork will share some real world stories on:
• Where you can find temporary consultancy gig in Finland
• What practical arrangements you need to have
• How it helped few companies to grow
• Why it is sometimes a good idea to hire short-term consultants to your startup
