Raising Capital: Negotiating with Potential Investors

All businesses require capital (cash) to fund their activities. But not all capital is created equal. Should a startup raise equity or debt? Who are the providers of equity and debt? What are the pros and cons of raising equity from friends and family, an angel group or venture capital firm? What are the pros and cons of taking a loan from a traditional bank or private capital provider? How does a startup prepare and position itself to raise capital? This webinar focuses on understanding the different types of capital available to fund a startup, the providers of that capital, and practical tips to negotiate and secure the best terms from those capital providers.
