Don’t give up equity if you don’t need to! In Part One of our Creative Financing Strategies series we'll explore various grant opportunities, from foundations to government programs, and how your emerging business can make the most of them. Watch the video of Christine Harada’s overview of grant opportunities at our kickoff event.

ABOUT THE SERIES

Let us guess...One of the biggest hurdles for your company's growth is access to financing, right? But your company doesn't fit the profile that venture capitalists, angel investors, and traditional bank loan officers are looking for.

Welcome to the club! But good news: There are many more avenues to finance your business than you typically hear about. And we're here to share them with you. You'll get inspired with new ideas, discover which ones might be a fit for you, and learn what you need to do to pursue them.
