In this panel, we host two founders who have each grown their respective startups to stratospheric levels, but with very different funding approaches. Kathryn Petralia, co-founder and president of SMB FinTech Kabbage, has raised prodigious venture capital, including $500 million in equity from the likes of the SoftBank Vision Fund. Meanwhile, Ben Chestnut, co-founder and CEO of Mailchimp, has built a massive and well-known email automation business entirely by bootstrapping. Why did they choose their different financing strategies? Come hear from two leading founders about how they thought through their fundraises and the lessons we can all learn from their experiences.
