Growing a business in a pandemic
Three start-ups share lessons on raising capital, landing deals and looking after their teams and communities during COVID-19
We recently held a virtual happy hour as part of our involvement in the CHFA Connect virtual tradeshow. The very candid and valuable conversation featured Natasha Dhayagude of Chinova Bioworks, Ted Fleming of Partake Brewing, and Marie Chevrier of Sampler.
They talked about everything from mental health to supply chains and finding the balance of celebrating small wins while others are struggling. We are extremely grateful for their time and willingness to share. These are the types of dedicated entrepreneurs that are making a difference across the country. We hope you can take away a few things to help with your business.
