In this episode, I share with you 8 ways to finance your startup - and that doesn't include venture capital! It might seem odd coming from a VC investor. However, my goal for you as a startup founder is to be aware of all the options that are available to finance your business - along with their respective pros and cons. When you do partner with a VC like myself, you need to be sure that it is, in fact, the best way forward for your startup.
- What might be the reasons NOT to take venture capital?
- How to be more like Sam Walton, Walmart's founder?
- Should you be scared of taking on debt to finance your venture?
Listen to the episode to get the answers to all these questions - and get the full list of 8 ways you can go about financing your startup!
- Buy "Sam Walton: Made In America" book I recommend in this video on Amazon
- Read Paul Graham's full essay "Do Things That Don't Scale" that I mentioned in the video
