Lunch & Learn: What is Bootstrap Financing? You provide your lunch and the Entrepreneurship Centre will provide an inspiring and engaging series of online masterclasses

Join us for this months' Lunch and Learn delivered by Carina Kohli, founder and CEO of Humm Care. Humm Care is a digital healthcare startup for employee benefits with a focus in women's health and family building care in India. This session will focus on building a startup with a focus on bootstrapping, building a lean startup and getting fundraise ready – a tactic that entrepreneurs use that involves using their own savings to start a business. Carina and her team at Humm Care has successfully bootstrapped Humm Care for 4 years, and they have now fundraised their seed round. If you're an entrepreneur looking to start a business with little to no capital, understanding bootstrap financing, how to build a lean startup and preparing to fundraise, may help you decide what choice is right for you.

Humm Care is a health-tech platform that offers a comprehensive range of healthcare services, particularly focused on family health and well-being. It provides personalised, holistic care that spans various aspects of health, including women's health, family care, elderly care, mental health, and general wellness. The platform aims to support employees throughout different life stages and conditions, and to ensure employers build inclusive benefits and care for their employees that in turn help them with retention, diversity and more women re-entering the workforce

Jack of all trades – The many hats of founding a startup – (almost) everything you need to know
