About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Not every business needs an investor—but how do you know if yours does? Join Proof founder and CEO Mike Robinson for a candid, practical conversation on evaluating whether seeking investment is the right move for your business. This webinar will walk you through the pros and cons of bringing on investors, what it means to give up equity, the types of funding options available, and how to align investment decisions with your long-term business goals.

In this session, we’ll cover:

  • The benefits and limits of bootstrapping
  • Types of investors and what they’re looking for
  • Equity trade-offs and how they impact control
  • Signs your business might be ready for funding
  • Non-equity funding options to consider

Who This Is For:

  • Entrepreneurs in early to mid-stage growth
  • Business owners curious about funding options
  • Founders weighing the trade-offs of equity vs. control
  • Anyone seeking clarity on when and why to pursue outside capital

Led by: Mike Robinson, CEO & Founder of Proof
