89 | Overwhelmed by Startup Funding Advice? Use This 4-Part Filter Before You Raise

Episode notes

Feeling overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice about startup funding? One person says bootstrap. Another says raise venture capital. Someone else swears crowdfunding is the smartest move. Then you hear angels are better, loans are risky, VCs are the only path, or that you should never give up equity. No wonder you feel stuck. In this episode, Jayla breaks down why funding advice feels so confusing for first-time entrepreneurs - and why the real question is not, "Which funding path is best?" The better question is: "Which funding path is best for me, my business, my stage, my goals, and my constraints?" Have questions specific to your situation? Join Jayla's FREE monthly Seed Money Office Hours call to ask your real funding questions and get more clarity on funding strategy, investor materials, pitching, finding investors, and how to close.
