USA vs. Europe: Two Ways to Build a Startup

​USA vs. Europe: Two Ways to Build a Startup

​Raise big and scale fast, or bootstrap and stay independent? Two founders, two philosophies, one breakfast.

​The American Way bets on venture capital and hypergrowth.
The European Way relies on bootstrapping, profitability and keeping control.

​Both want the same thing: a successful company. In this live debate, our speakers make the case for their path, challenge each other, and break down what each route really means for early-stage founders. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of which one fits your journey.
