Funding

Most startups struggle with capital. It is a general issue when starting a business.

Going about this is rather tasking but first thing on most founders' minds is to get a loan.

As cool as that sounds, I'll advice against it. I prefer if you could get a grant to startup would be better because at this point in your business, your success is not certain for the next 5 years.

The best thing to do would be to work on a 9 - 5 job to raise some money to startup, keep running the job to gain some backup mo ey and business running money and watch the rate the business grows, if it is promising and needs more of your time, then you would have to make your business attractive to investors by improving all your marketing strategies and business models and rate yourself with the competition.

If you get it right, investors would come knocking at your door, instead of you searching for them. To do all this, it would take a lot of funds which you can only get when working a 9 - 5 job so you can reinvest your business earnings and grow.

When you finally go full time into the business, you remember not to spend on unnecessary items, grow your business first, iPhone e would always still be in the market, so will the Benz, as well as Gucci just be modest with your spending and rein eat your income, grow your business and there would be no stopping you.

Pitch

When I sit down with new startup founders, most ask me about one thing: raising money. This is smart of them, because, as I've stated previously, fundraising needs to be one of the core competencies of any young company. Yet for the many high-level conversations I've enjoyed on the subject with young entrepreneurs, rarely do we delve into the kinds of DIY steps they can take to legitimately improve their chances of actually landing an investment. I want to spend some time doing just that on a subject worthy of much more discussion than it generally receives: the pitch deck. If you're a budding entrepreneur who gobbles up broader pontifications on the art of fundraising but find yourself constantly in want of "next steps" advice, this is the column you're going to want to print out and put in your pocket. The reason I want to talk about pitch decks is simple: I see too many that are simply not good. What should be a short, powerful presentation to pique ...
