LUNCH & LEARN | NAVIGATING SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS - BORROW, BUY, OR BUILD?

About this Lunch & Learn

Not sure whether to build your own software, buy something off the shelf, or borrow what already exists?

Whether you're an early stage entrepreneur or further along on the journey, choosing the right option can be tricky - especially when you're thinking about cost, timing, and what will work best long-term.

In this practical Lunch & Learn, we’ll break down the three main options - Borrow, Buy, and Build - look at when each one makes sense, and share real-life examples to bring it all to life. There’ll also be time for a Q&A so you can get your questions answered.

Join us for ‘Borrow, Buy, or Build? Making Smart Software Decisions’ and leave with a clearer, more confident plan for your next software move.

What you’ll get from this Session

🚀 Understand the fundamental principles of navigating software decisions: Borrowing, Buying, and Building.
🚀 Learn how to assess your startup needs and determine the most suitable approach.
🚀 Gain insights from real-life case studies that demonstrate the practical application of these strategies.
🚀 Participate in an interactive Q&A to clarify your doubts and share experiences with peers.
