How would you build a startup without funding? Is that the correct route to take? How is the current climate affecting raising funds? These are all tough questions that founders are facing, so we decided to unpack the topic after the numerous conversations at the Specno Founders Den event.

We discussed the banking disaster unfolding in America with the Startup focused bank Silicone Valley Bank having to close its doors under the current economic headwinds.
