Last week we assembled an all star panel exploring the Art and Science of De-risking Your Startup as part of 1Philadelphia’s Innovation Summit. The science: there are clear actions that founders can take to de-risk (ex: legal, accounting, non dilutive funding) The art: adaptability, strategy, doing the work to prepare for assumptions people will make when you walk in the room. Thanks to our panelists for sharing their insights and to 1Philadelphia for the opportunity!
