GET FUNDED THE STARTUP ENTREPRENEURS GUI

Meer over het boek

From a founding editor at TechCrunch and an award-winning communication strategist comes a comprehensive guide to the latest fundraising options for today's entrepreneurs. Fundraising has dramatically changed for startup founders in this decade. Once, VCs were rock stars, and a single founder with a great idea could easily secure funding. However, post-Great Recession and the 2014 tech investment contraction have made it increasingly challenging to raise capital. This guide explores the new funding landscape, highlighting tech-driven models such as crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs), micro-loans, and micro-donations, alongside traditional methods. It offers proven strategies for pitching, marketing, and bootstrapping. With easy-to-follow worksheets and online resources, this book equips entrepreneurs to develop a sustainable funding strategy tailored to their business and execute it successfully. Whether launching a food truck or a biotech startup, this guide provides essential insights and tools for navigating the evolving fundraising environment.
