The Cost of Optionality

Founders are constantly balancing competing opportunities. Raise capital? Sell? Acquire? Expand? Wait? This session explores when keeping options open creates value—and when it creates distraction. 

Session Focus:

• Raise, sell, acquire, or wait: how founders actually decide, and what they weigh  

• The real cost of raising capital you don't need yet  

• Knowing when it's time to commit instead of staying flexible
