How to fund a business when you don't have rich friends, a trust fund, or a warm intro to a VC. Alternative financing, creative partnerships, and the out-of-the-box strategies I've used to start businesses with virtually no startup capital.
Your audience walks away with: A real map of funding options beyond the bank and the VC; the creative, alternative, and partnership-based routes most founders never hear about. How to make an ask without a warm intro, a pedigree, or a pitch deck full of hockey sticks. The mindset shift that turns "I don't have the money" into "I don't have the money yet." And a permission slip to start before they feel ready, because almost nobody who made it felt ready either.
Best for: founders, accelerators, pitch events, business finance classes.
