Market fluctuations and economic uncertainties are a periodic phenomenon and a harsh reality that every business must accept. While large organizations are quite resilient to such changes, it’s the smaller ones that must brace themselves for market shocks. They need to build enough business resilience to sustain growth and avoid sinking. This requires innovative thinking, creative usage of new technologies, and most importantly, sufficient funding so they don’t run out of cash in the middle of their plans.

Join us on May 10th to gain insights on what should startups do to galvanize themselves against rough market conditions with the right technology, business ideas, and funding.
