2025 StartUp Fayette - September
From Bootstrapping to Venture Capital: Navigating Startup Funding Options
Securing funding is one of the biggest hurdles for early-stage entrepreneurs. At our September 16th StartUp Fayette event, we’re excited to welcome Karen Rands, the Compassionate Capitalist, as our featured speaker.
Karen will break down the many ways startups can raise capital - from bootstrapping and friends & family to crowdfunding, angel investors, and venture capital. Most importantly, she’ll highlight the critical differences between selling equity and taking on debt, helping founders understand the trade-offs, challenges, and opportunities in each path.
Whether you’re looking to grow steadily or scale quickly, this session will give you a clearer picture of how to align your funding strategy with your business vision and stage of growth.
Come connect with fellow entrepreneurs, learn from Karen’s expertise, and walk away with practical insights to fuel your startup journey.
StartUp Fayette is a monthly program featuring entrepreneurs, big thinkers and people that offer services that support new business.
Starting a small business or building a new startup company can be a huge task to tackle on your own. There are many things you will need to learn, and many skills you will have to develop. It could take months, even years, to learn everything you need in order to be successful with your new endeavor. You will not only have to dedicate time to building your business but also save some time for learning and self-development.
Building without first educating yourself and developing the necessary skills is the same as driving a car without directions to your destination. You will make a lot of wrong turns. It can be hard to find business experts will real-world experience and knowledge that are actually willing to help.
