HAPPENING NOW: Join the DAV Patriot Boot Camp community for a special live digital event designed to support founders in the veteran and military connected community. This brief chat will feature Patriot Boot Camp Alumnus Tom Burden.
 
Tom Burden, founder and CEO of Grypmat, is an alumni who was featured on – and invested in through – Shark Tank. In the hustle to bring his product to market and increase awareness of the brand, Tom and his team have presented at more than 100 trade shows around the world.
 
The cost of participating in trade shows, whether sponsoring a booth or traveling to attend, can be exorbitant especially for startups. By understanding the thought processes that bypass add-on costs, taking advantage of connections and finding a way to convert participants into consumers, founders can make the most of their investment.
