UCF BIP Volusia – WoW Fridays: Fundamental of Raising Angel Venture Capital and Crowdfunding Funds – part 2

April 21, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT

This week is part 2 of 3 part series:

“In business, bootstrappers typically rely on savings, early cash flow, and penny-pinching to fund startup companies, rather than seeking external funding in the form of loans or investments. Bootstrapping companies’ founders try to line up customers and suppliers early while taking little or no capital” – Bloomberg BusinessWeek.

This Bootcamp will help you to understand everything about how to fund your business seeking external funding from bankers and investors.
