About the event
There's no single right way to fund a business. Some people bootstrap. Some take loans. Some raise capital. Some lean on grants. Tonight isn't about finding the right answer — it's about learning from each other.
Join Cari A. Harris (Founder & Principal, The Butterfly Effect) and Caitlin Barnhart (Founder & Principal, Impact Now Consulting) for an interactive Consulting Community session built around real stories from real founders — where the money actually comes from, and what they'd do differently.
This session is for consultants, fractional executives, and service providers who:
Are figuring out how to fund the next stage of growth
Want the real trade-offs behind loans, investors, and grants — not just the theory
Are weighing whether to bootstrap or bring in outside capital
