Fueling Your Fire: How to Scale Efficiently Post-Raise with Crossbeam NY #TechWeek
We know how difficult it is to raise capital in this environment but what happens next? We've put together a cozy fireside chat / panel of seasoned veterans who have either helped or themselves scaled startups capital efficiently. We'll chat about how to stay focused on fueling growth amidst market uncertainty, building a success-driven culture, and generally navigating the ambiguity and chaos of being an early stage founder.
Come feel the warmth of the NYC tech ecosystem and enjoy autumn inspired cocktails during the best time of year at one of our favorite hidden gems. The audience will be a mix of founders, operators, and investors.
