Before You Go After Venture Capital

You have, not just an idea, but a plan in action – for a viable, scalable company.

But, you need more capital and bank loans won’t suffice.

Venture capital may be just what suits your needs. However, it is a move that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Rudina Seseri of Fairhaven Capital and Monica Dodi of Women’s Venture Capital Fund share advice on what you need to know before taking VC dollars for your business.

Different from loans, venture funding requires founders to give up stake in their company in exchange for capital.

Know the valuation of your company and what percentage of equity you are willing to give to potential investors.
