What's inside?
Bootstrapping, crowdfunding, angel investment, venture capital, short and long-term loans each has its own benefits and trade offs. Of course, finding the balance that meets your company’s immediate capital needs and aligns with your future growth plans isn’t always easy.
Our Startup Funding Playbook can help you make the best capital decisions at every step of your journey. The information and tools you’ll find in this playbook provide a framework that will help you choose the right funding path for your startup.
Pick the right path for your growth trajectory
Founders often aren’t aware of all the different sources of capital available today, much less how and when to use them. Explore the full landscape of startup funding options, and which funding paths offer the best outcomes for the business growth you expect.
Assess your capital needs
Raising as much money as possible isn’t always the best strategy, and we explain why. You should always start by looking at how much capital you need and how you’ll use it to grow. Use our guides to narrow down the field of potential funding sources that will work best for you at this stage of your journey.
Compare risks vs rewards
We give you a framework for evaluating the impact of variables like equity dilution, ownership and control, repayment terms, and more that will help you zero-in on an optimal fundraising strategy. There’s also a cheat sheet at the end you can use to make the decision process even easier.
