A renewed thirst for learning and connection—can you feel it? We certainly could at GridAKL!
On 25 February, we hosted another fantastic Bootstrapper’s Breakfast, bringing together entrepreneurs, founders, and startup enthusiasts eager to share insights and challenges over a cup of coffee. These breakfasts aren’t just about the caffeine kick—they’re about fueling ideas, fostering connections, and learning from each other’s journeys in the startup world.
This session featured the incredible Isabel Munro from Oxygen Advisors, who provided invaluable insights into sustainable financial models for startups and early-stage businesses. With the ever-evolving landscape of entrepreneurship, understanding financial sustainability is crucial, and Isabel delivered practical strategies that left attendees feeling empowered and equipped to make smarter financial decisions. The discussion was so impactful that we are already planning a follow-up session on capital raising—stay tuned!
Bootstrapper’s Breakfast happens monthly, generally on the last Tuesday of every month. It’s a safe and friendly community, especially for those starting their own business. Over time, we’ve welcomed several GridAKL founders to share their journeys, including Amy Stevens from Slice, Henry Wallace and Jack Coleman from Double Yolk (now Outsourced). We’ve also had guest speakers like Flavio Hangarter, who spoke about getting your product or service market-ready.
Other breakfasts have explored essential topics such as navigating legal considerations, intellectual property, marketing strategies, financial sustainability, and raising capital—providing founders with the tools they need to succeed. One particularly insightful session was led by representatives from INSEAD, focusing on key aspects of business strategy and decision-making.
If you’re looking for a space to exchange ideas, gain practical knowledge, and connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, Bootstrapper’s Breakfast is the place to be. Whether you’re bootstrapping your startup or just seeking fresh perspectives, these gatherings provide an incredible opportunity to learn, share, and grow together.
