ChartMogul's latest report highlights that the economic downturn hit VC-backed startups with less than $1M ARR the hardest, when growth slowed down 2-3x in the last couple of years.

Bootstrappers were not immune to the current economic environment, but they have maintained more consistent growth rates over time.

Join us for a session with Dirk Sahlmer, Head of Origination at saas.group and Tomislav Car, CEO of Productive as they share their experiences and lessons learned throughout various stages of their growth journey.

The panel covers:

What motivated these founders to forgo external funding and bootstrap their businesses?
What do cash-constrained startups need to do differently from their VC-counterparts at different stages of their ARR journey?
How does capital efficiency impact decision making, for example on your tech stack?
