Navigating Growth: Funding Choices That Shape The Journey Roundtable

Every founder faces the dilemma of how to fuel growth: raise equity, take on debt, or strike a balance between the two. Equity can accelerate expansion but often dilutes control. Debt preserves ownership but requires repayment discipline. The right choice depends not just on financials, but on the stage of the business, market conditions, and the founder’s vision.

This roundtable will examine how different funding paths shape a company’s trajectory, and what role banks can play in making those options clearer, more flexible, and more aligned to the ambitions of founders. Supported by Oaknorth.

This event is exclusively for CEO, CFO & Founders of Start Up and Scale up Fintech IF members.
