In this episode, I had the pleasure of moderating the Entrepreneur Panel at PACT's Mid-Atlantic Capital Conference. I sat down with Mumbi Dunjwa, Alan Rihm, and Morgan Berman to delve into their experiences building startups in the Philadelphia startup scene, focusing on the lessons learned during the early stages of their journey.
During our conversation, we discussed a range of topics from the initial challenges and pivots to achieving product-market fit and scaling their businesses.
Throughout, the panelists highlighted the supportive nature of the Philadelphia startup ecosystem, including access to funding, advisory services, and a collaborative environment that fosters growth and innovation. They shared lessons on the strategic use of capital, the importance of local networks, and the impact of community-focused business models.
Tune into this episode to learn from these local entrepreneurs on navigating the complexities of startup growth, the benefits of a supportive local ecosystem, and the strategic business decisions that drive early success in the entrepreneur journey.
