(2.9) Show Me the Money: Decoding Startup Funding
A Talk by David Chang (GM, Expert Network, Hunt Club)
About this Talk
Join us for an informative discussion on navigating fundraising for student entrepreneurs.
Alternative funding options, such as pitch competitions, grants, SAFE notes, and debt financing, offer student entrepreneurs additional avenues to raise capital without relinquishing equity. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, and entrepreneurs should consider factors such as funding amounts, terms, and potential dilution when deciding between traditional and alternative funding routes.
During this session we’ll specifically discuss:
- The key differences between angel funding and VC funding rounds
- How to prepare for and navigate different fundraising stages effectively
- Alternative funding routes available to startups
This session is a part of Startup Boston Week 2024 and is perfect for students looking to navigate the startup fundraising landscape.
