Bootstrapping 101 - Ditch the Pitch

Tired of the hype around early funding? This workshop, inspired by the practical and insightful real world experience and approach of excited SaaS founders (and brothers) David and Chris Sinkinson, will challenge the myth that you need early funding and that your startup needs to "get big fast". The Sinkinsons will equip you with the strategies to build a sustainable and profitable business from the ground up, without relying on external investment.

Learn how to prioritise customer value and revenue generation over chasing funding, understand why early funding isn't always your friend, and discover how to maintain control and build a strong foundation through bootstrapping. This workshop will provide actionable insights and a "Startup Different" mindset to empower you to thrive as a modern entrepreneur on your own terms.
