Synopsis

Lack of funding is one of the biggest reasons small businesses fail. In 2016 in the United States alone, more than thirty-one percent of small business owners reported that they could not access adequate capital, and the lack of capital prevented them from growing the business/expanding operations, increasing inventory, or financing increased sales.

Most business owners believe that their only feasible funding options are (1) savings or personal credit, (2) friends and family or (3) bank loans. They may have heard about venture capitalists or angel investors, but they don't have enough information about what these investors do, what they can provide for a business, and on what terms. What's worse, entrepreneurs often don't know how to access the people who are looking to put their money into young companies with potential.

Crack the Funding Code will show listeners how to find the money, create pitches that attract investors, and then structure fair, ethical deals that will bring them new sources of outside capital and invaluable professional advice. It will give listeners the broader perspective—how funding works, how investors think, and what they need to hear to put their money where your mouth is.

Goodreads review by Logan

Definitely one of the best funding books out there, and best I've read to date. Judy Robinett is accomplished in the field and knows it's ins and outs, includes valuable content from many other notable people. My main takeaway (of which there are many) is that networking is the most important aspect......more

Goodreads review by Davor

Didn't really have big expectations when I started reading this book, but I was positively surprised. The book does not come across as a "self-help" type, or as a book to promote the author, but rather the author presents herself so that we can know she has "clout" and we can know that she speaks fr......more
