About
Finding funding can be the difference between a startup’s success and failure. Yet few founders have expertise across the myriad financing options for high-growth ventures. This comprehensive course explores the full range of funding sources available at various stages of the startup lifecycle - from bootstrapping to venture capital, friends and family to revenue financing, accelerators to crowdfunding, and grants to debt options. Compare the mechanics, requirements, and investor expectations across equity versus debt structures. Dig into how professional investors value pre-revenue companies using methods like comparable deals, discounted cash flows and milestone analyses. Examine term sheets and share classes. And most crucially, develop the skills to craft a compelling narrative and visual pitch deck tailored to each funding source. Mastering startup financing strategies gives founders the power to turn business ideas into funded realities.
