Synopsis

From a TechCrunch founder and award-winning strategist comes the most comprehensive guide to the newest fundraising options for today's entrepreneurs.

Fundraising for startups has changed dramatically in the past decade. There was a time when VCs were rock stars and a founder with a big idea and a little drive could raise a few hundred thousand dollars to build a business. But those days are gone. In the aftermath of the Great Recession and a massive drop in tech investments, it's become harder and harder for founders to raise money. The good news? Today's entrepreneurs have more options than ever before—with greater opportunities to get the ball rolling, get investors excited, and Get Funded!

A comprehensive, cutting-edge guide from tech journalist and entrepreneur John Biggs and communication strategist Eric Villines, Get Funded! will enable you to: create a solid business plan and a powerful story that investors respond to; explore a wide range of funding options—and find the ones that are right for you; understand valuation and dilution; plan, prepare, and deliver the perfect pitch; raise money through grants, micro-loans, micro-donations, and crowdfunding; and take advantage of the latest online resources and financial tools.
