Hosted by Founders Meetup Edinburgh
October's Founders Meetup Edinburgh, hosted in Shepherd and Wedderburn's offices, is a panel on "Bootstrapping to Break-Even".
David Carboni hosts two founders who reached profitability without outside funding: Borislav Borisov, co-founder and CEO of TableSense, a B2B hospitality tech company, and Craig Parker, co-founder and CEO of WorkPhotos, a job-photo app for trades and field teams, previously Director of Operations at Skyscanner. Structured networking follows the panel. Tickets are £5, doors from 18:00.
almost every founder panel is about raising, and the operational detail of getting to break-even on revenue alone — pricing, cash timing, when to hire — is both rarer and more useful to most people in the room. Best for bootstrapped and early-revenue founders, and for anyone weighing whether to raise at all.
