[Maker Prep Webinar] Funding Your Business: The First Key Steps

Join the SFA for a webinar on Thursday, July 8 at 1 p.m. ET.

While some businesses have “bootstrapped” their way to success, the other 99 percent have had to learn how to get investors or loans to work toward realizing their dream. 
 
This webinar will introduce founders and their teams to the basics of financing a business. You’ll hear from an experienced food investor who will share what she looks for when investing in early stage companies. 
 
We’ll touch on clarifying objectives and timeline, determining how much do you need, appropriate funding options at each stage of your business, connecting with and telling your story to investors and banks, and basic ways to think about valuation and deal structure. You’ll also receive a list of useful resources so you can continue learning on your own. 

This is the first webinar of the series. All webinars are free for SFA members. If you’re a non-member, you can purchase the 3-webinar series for $50 here or buy a la carte for $19 each. Register now.
