Ep 11: Startups vs. Small Business - Differences, Needs, and Resources

When you're starting a company, you don't always know what you are or what you need. Are you a startup planning to raise capital and looking for an exit? Or are you a small business that's developing a workforce for a long game scenario. In this episode, we talk about the difference between the two, and how communities can provide resources to support both types of companies.
