No. Many speakers last year bootstrapped their startups into profitabily. In fact, I would say that East Coast startups in general do not fit the built-to-flip model.
This event is a good time to hear about when it would make sense to raise money, and how you might go about doing it.

For anyone on the East Coast, we're having a similar event at MIT in September, open to anyone.

I assume he meant for Startup Bootcamp
Yeah, I misread. Apologies. I too am interested in the speakers for Startup Bootcamp
I'll post them next week. We've got a great lineup this year.

Can't scroll on iPhone.
That's a bit ironic, as the scrollbar is styled like the iphone's scrollbar - at least on Chrome.
Fixed-- thanks.
Awesome. Works great now.
Is this explicitly geared towards startups looking to raise funding and look for a big exit?
