Eric Knopf and John Russell, co-founders of Webconnex have taken a different approach to growing their startup than many do. Rather than focus on raising money from investors, they’ve chosen to be 100% bootstrapped. Their SaaS platform for event registration, ticketing and fundraising has over 30,000 customers and has processed billions of dollars of transactions. They compete and win against the biggest, best-funded competitors in the world without a penny of VC money or outside funding.
Eric and John were our featured entrepreneurs at StartupSac Happy Hour on March 26 at Hot Italian in Midtown. During the hour-long AMA portion of the event, they fielded a range of startup questions and impressed the audience with their perspectives, humbleness, and value on employees – sharing some fantastic insights and advice. Check out the audio recording of that AMA session in the podcast below.
