Own Your Raise: Evaluate Your Startup and Choose the Right Funding Options

Hey! We know fundraising is hard… so let’s get you started! If you are thinking about raising your first outside capital, you’ve got to first be clear about where your business is at, and what your funding options could be. Join our ‘Own Your Raise’ interactive bootcamp to get clarity on the state of YOUR startup, business model, and to understand what are the right funding options for YOU and YOUR specific business needs!

Agenda:

10:00am – 12:00pm ET Money & Metrics: Using Lean Canvas to Evaluate Your Business

First up: Let’s get clear on your startup! Our investor experts will walk you through a Lean Canvas tool to map out the key elements of your entire business on one single page while getting real time feedback. You’ll gain a clear understanding of where your business is at and what you want to focus on. The Lean Canvas is an important tool that’s also great to orient your pitch to investors who often use it to capture and evaluate a startup pitch.

1:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET Getting Your Startup Funded – What Are Your Options?

You know your business but do you know your funding options? Bootstrapping, Friends & Family money, grants, business loans, angel funding, venture capital, crowdfunding … What are the appropriate funding options for your stage and sector?

You’ll be an expert in no time… Before the bootcamp, we’ll share with you recordings of deep dives to the different funding options for you to watch and learn. Then you’ll join to hear from funding experts who will compare and contrast the many ways you can fund your startup, and what is the right funding path for YOU.

Last but not least… Let’s talk about it! Following the panel you will have the opportunity to meet with the panelists in small group sessions for a deeper dive to learn more about the specific funding types, ask your questions, get feedback and network with fellow entrepreneurs.
