Event Details
Especially for start-up businesses, two of the most essential resources which can also be severely limited are time and money. To break through established competitive structures, new firms need to seize their appropriate opportunities in favorable time to market. Such efficiency also enhances the application of hard-won capital to its intended and most productive uses, also enabling pivots as conditions change.
This month, as part of our recent series of entrepreneurial adaptation enabled by emerging technologies, ER will welcome the owner/operator of several linked consumer product companies whose most diverse industry experience has included tech, energy, manufacturing and real estate, among others. Adept in the full range of private equity, venture capital, and a comprehensive range of entrepreneurial skillsets, he will explain how to effectively bootstrap from concept to sustainable profitability.
