Be part of Accel’s Arun Mathew at TechCrunch Disrupt in our debate round alt-financing

TechCrunch Disrupt has an extended historical past of bringing main enterprise capitalists to the stage to yammer about their business. Our impending TC Disrupt convention occurring on September 21-23 isn’t any totally different. This time round certainly one of our investor friends is Arun Mathew of Accel, a enterprise capitalist that you just may recall from his latest participation in Webflow’s large $140 million Collection B.

However we aren’t merely asking Mathew out to the occasion to talk low-code, or SaaS, or just present intra-venture capital investing dynamics. As a substitute, he’ll be collaborating in our panel on different financing (alt-finance) with a couple of people that aren’t enterprise capitalists, however nonetheless deploy capital into startups.

Having an Accel companion participate within the panel makes good sense, because the enterprise agency has an attention-grabbing manner of approaching bootstrapped corporations. Particularly that it’s prepared to indicate as much as fairly giant corporations and write large checks. That’s how Accel obtained into Qualtrics, for instance, a deal that labored out fairly effectively.

However Accel invests from seed through super-late stage, making Mathew the right individual to carry the enterprise perspective to the dialog.

The chat ought to hit on revenue-based financing, different extra unique types of alt-finance and the place the enterprise world might even see capital partnerships, and funding rivalries. Our aim gained’t be to incite an argument, however as an alternative to unfold the personal capital markets in a fashion that helps followers of conventional VC — if there may be nonetheless such a factor in immediately’s Tiger International-led world — and believers in newer strategies of capital deployment be taught from one another. And in order that founders can carve essentially the most cheap path for themselves as they search to develop their companies.

All instructed it needs to be a bop and I’ll see you there!
