Webinar Highlights
In this session, the speaker will be presenting her recently published book titled "Adventure Finance." The venture capital model doesn't work at least not for 99% of startups and small businesses. In this 99% are a lot of companies with incredible potential: businesses headed by female founders and those from diverse racial backgrounds, organizations headquartered outside of venture capital hubs, and purpose-driven enterprises that are creating social and environmental impact alongside financial success. Counter to what the press-savvy venture capital world would have you believe; there are many funding options out there for startups and small businesses. Through a mix of storytelling and frameworks, based on a decade of research and experience in investing in early-stage companies, this book will give you the ability to determine how each of these structures can contribute to your funding journey. This book aims to shift the conversation about startup funding and help founders and funders widen the spectrum of "mainstream" investment options to make the venture financing world more inclusive and purpose-driven.
