Determining how to finance your growth is one of the most important and most complex decisions for a founder. In this session, we will share an overview of the types of capital used to fund food businesses such as debt and equity, non-traditional financing, and self-funded “bootstrapping”, as well as hear from investors and founders on how they navigated this key step on the growth trajectory.
Join Branchfood and Branch Venture Group founders alongside a panel of experts to learn about the key components of funding your food business. Bring your questions!
Speakers:
Lauren Abda, Founder at Branchfood and Co-Founder at Branch Venture Group
Marcia Hooper, Co-Founder at Branch Venture Group
Michael Hallock, Chief Executive Officer at RI Mushroom Co.
Betsy Leatherbee, Executive Director at JPMorgan Chase
