Learn from the pros on how they won over their first big clients, and what it's like to be a software company working within a vertical market. The panel will discuss why finding your niche is important and how listening to customer and client needs is crucial in finding your company’s sweet spot. It can be challenging to grow your startup in a space in which your competitors have 100x your budget. Learn how landing your first anchor client is critical to scaling up. 

This interactive session will be open to audience questions.

WHY ATTEND: Donuts! Just kidding, come for more than the sugary treats. This is a great chance to ask questions and learn from experienced entrepreneurs. If you've ever wondered if it’s time to pivot or if you have what it takes to take on the giants, this talk is for you.
