The startup world has a flip problem. Too many founders are building for investors, not customers or community.
This is an interactive conversation for builders, about the world beyond venture capital, for people who are trying to create something that endures instead of just something to flip quickly.
Join us at AI House as Ada Developers Academy hosts a fireside chat with Nathalie Molina Niño, tech entrepreneur, investor, and author of LEAPFROG: The New Revolution for Women Entrepreneurs and Alexandra Holien, CEO of Ada Developers Academy, moderated by Luzy King, financial educator and entrepreneur strategist.
What we'll dig into:
-
The real difference between flippers and builders
-
Alternatives to VC that actually work
-
Builders who have scaled and done big things without the VC path
-
What "Builder Capital" instead of venture capital looks like in practice
