The Course Curriculum
Our course is a good route if you...
are a founder, small business owner, or just somebody with an idea
using a for-profit business model
have spent time going down the VC route and realised it wasn't for you
want to understand how to get funding without going down the VC route
don't yet know the steps to raise funding that aligns with your values
are searching for sources of funding and places to look for help
Our course might not be that useful if...
you are someone who knows which path they're on and are on a mission down a venture capital route. If so, that's great! The VC path works for lots of businesses; it's just not the only solution
you are at a later stage (two-three years) of the business and have already gone through lots of funding routes. You may not find as much value in this course as an early-stage founder looking for their first funding
This course is NOT...
