Navigating the economic impact of COVID-19 on early stage startups


Join Sundeep Ahuja, Matt Melbourne, and the Republic Team in discussing the impact of COVID-19 on early stage startups.

With specific emphasis on the COVID-19 crisis, Republic's Sundeep Ahuja & Matt Melbourne will present on how your fundraising strategy should change in down environments. Sundeep will focus on which fundraising best practices remain the same and which may need to change. Matt will cover alternative funding sources––both dilutive and non-dilutive––beyond the VC world. The session will end with a chance for Q&A on any of the topics discussed.
