Money doesn’t grow on trees, but it does grow in Kitsap. The challenge for entrepreneurs is figuring out which funding paths actually work for their stage of business.For some, that means bootstrapping or leaning on personal networks. For others, it’s navigating microloans, crowdfunding campaigns, or other creative sources of capital. Each path comes with tradeoffs, challenges, and lessons learned along the way.
We’re diving in deep this month for real talk with 3 local entrepreneurs, here to share their experiences in funding their businesses — including what’s worked, what hasn’t, and the surprises they’ve encountered.
Hear directly from founders on the funding strategies they’ve tried, and expect to leave with fresh ideas and practical inspiration for fueling your own next step.
Come ready to listen, learn, and find new inspiration. Leave your ego at the door, and engage in authentic conversations from peers who are in the trenches and 'doing the thing', battle scars and all.
Informal conversation and networking begins at 11:30am. Lightning Talks begin at 12pm and end promptly at 1pm. BYO lunch!
Join us on October 8, 11:30am at Vibe Coworks in Poulsbo.
