Bootstrapping your startup without relying on raising capital and loans is an ideal strategy, especially given the current investor and banking landscape.
Our guest, Melissa Widner, has the best advice to help you launch and build your startup, without raising capital.
She’s the CEO of Lighter Capital, the pioneer and leader in revenue-based financing for tech startups, founders, and companies.
Previously, Melissa was the Managing Director of NAB Ventures, the VC arm of the National Australia Bank, and a General Partner at Seattle based SeaPoint Ventures.
A seasoned founder, Melissa has first-hand experience building a business from the ground up. She was the founder and CEO of 7Software, a Silicon Valley based enterprise software company acquired by Concur (Nasdaq: CNQR, acquired by SAP).
Melissa is also the co-founder and Chairperson of Sydney-based Heads Over Heels, an organization that supports women entrepreneurs running companies with high growth potential.
