Among the multitude of issues entrepreneurs face, funding is one of the most important and often the least understood. How much seed funding should a startup seek, who provides it, and how much of the future company should be given up to get it?
Beyond the friends and family funding rounds, Micro-VCs have emerged as the latest (and likely long-term) trend in seed stage funding. Forbes describes these $10-$50K investors as “placing lots of little bets” by directing smaller amounts of capital than usual toward as many good ideas as possible, often helping them along the way through business accelerators, and hoping that some eventually strike it big.
Join the New Economy, New Rules conference on February 10, as three panelists lead a discussion about changes and trends in our funding ecosystem, and how entrepreneurs can leverage knowledge of these developments to achieve their own seed-stage funding goals.
