As October rolls on here at TableCrowd, we’ve got some inspiring speakers to answer all your burning questions about how to get your business off the ground. Next week is all about start-up journeys, from idea to conception to funding, and we’ll be dining with some guests who know exactly how crazy those journeys can be, like Ross Williams, who set up his incredibly successful empire Venntro in a tiny office with next to no funding. And we’ll also be hearing from Andrew Humphries from The Bakery, the world’s first dedicated accelerator for the advertising and marketing industry. Book your seat now and let’s eat!

Startup journeys with The Bakery’s co-founder: from idea & team building, to funding & growth, through to exit
Dine with Andrew Humphries and discuss your startup’s journey. Andrew is co-founder of The Bakery and previously, he co-founded 2 successful technology businesses, raising over $42m in venture funding, and growing both in Europe and the US, before exiting via trade sales. Andrew has a wealth of experience including raising money, spending money, building teams, choosing co-founders, growing overseas and planning for growth/exit. He will be talking about a startup’s journey, which encapsulates all these things.
Dinner is at 6:45pm on Monday 26th October, Lima Floral, Covent Garden

Building a successful business without funding
Ross Williams, founder and CEO of Venntro (with brands including White Label Dating and Just Singles), built his business from the ground up into an empire with 45m consumers on 25,000+ sites with an annualised revenue of £5om. He will be sharing his advice on how to succeed without relying on funding, and will cover his experience and knowledge about the right times and reasons to raise money.
