Startup Simulations #1 Your startup, let's call it "Freshfoods," has been delivering organic, locally-sourced meal kits for the past year. You've gained a loyal customer base and have been steadily growing. However, things have taken a turn. Your main funding source, a venture capitalist firm, has just informed you they are freezing all new investments due to unforeseen market fluctuations. This funding freeze throws a wrench into your plans. You were counting on that capital to expand your delivery area, hire additional staff, and implement a much-needed marketing campaign. Without it, your growth will stall and you might even struggle to maintain current operations. You've called an emergency team meeting with your core team. The pressure is on to brainstorm creative solutions to overcome this hurdle. How would you find a way out ?

If i was the founder or in the operations team, I’d basically convince the team to bring a social angle to our business so that, it can go viral with less monetary push. Collaborate with local vegetable sellers, get them into the distribution cycle, market it. I’m sure, with the traction, gained from this, if executed well, logistics wise, there a good chance to get funded.
