For early-stage entrepreneurs, the instinct to grow fast often comes with a catch: giving up control. But what if scaling your business didn’t require surrendering equity or aligning with investor expectations that don’t reflect your mission? There are more reasons than ever to explore alternative paths to growth—ones that prioritize strategy, sustainability, and staying true to your vision.

The Nasdaq Center is excited to be joined by Ashley Deland, CEO at Maison De Land and Strategic Business Advisor, and Dr. Gina Anderson, Cofounder and CEO at Luma "Brighter Learning", for a powerful conversation on how to fuel growth without giving up control. Together, they’ll explore the many reasons why founders are increasingly choosing non-dilutive funding, revenue-first strategies, and mission-aligned partnerships over traditional equity routes. From preserving leverage for future raises to staying focused on revenue-generating activities, Ashley and Gina will share firsthand how to scale with intention—without compromising your values or ownership. Join us to explore the powerful upside of choosing control, clarity, and purpose as you scale.
