Just beacuse you are raising money doesn't mean you have to give up 20%

Non-dilutive capital is the closest thing to free money you’ll get.

‍

Here are a few main types of non-dilutive capital:

• Grants: The closest thing to “free” money. Gov’ts / orgs give $ for research they want you to do

• Customers: Prepayments, LT commitments & negative floats vs. terms

• Loans: Don’t take it unless biz can support. But when raising $5M, $500-1M debt could be great

• Asset-Backed Lenders: Revenue-based financing, Inventory financing & lease capital. Careful, can be $$$$
