Unpopular Opinions: Bootstrap vs Investment

The ever popular Unpopular Opinions event is back to tackle one of the spiciest entrepreneur debates – is it better to bootstrap or find investment for your next big tech venture? Pitting six big brains with big ideas against each other, this rowdy event is sure to get the blood boiling one way or another.

Not ones to shy away from a hot take or a big idea, the teams at Publica and Canterbury Tech are bringing this special edition Unpopular Opinions to TechFest - a 5-day festival celebrating tech that's good for the world.

Each side of the argument will be represented by three speakers, each taking turns to share their Unpopular Opinions within five minutes. If they’re still going at five minutes we get to unceremoniously boo them off stage. Not for the faint of heart, this event brings the perfect mix of content and unfiltered vibes to TechFest 2024.

This event is part of TechFest a 5-day festival hosted by Canterbury Tech during TechWeek. There is a full schedule of events that day but you will need a separate ticket for this workshop and the rest of the event - please register for both.
