I can see myself having a startup in about a year or two, getting there. Like most, if not all -- startups takes funding from angle/venture capital. I know that basically cuts your ownership of the company. If there another way to get funding and keep your ownership? Or how much % of the company should i lock to myself and why? Thanks
How about trying to research and see if there are any government grants for you to use? It's FREE money which you don't have to pay back and you retain 100% rights to your company
Or just work bit harder and get your money yourself. I personally don't even prefer a bank loan. Peace of mind is also necessary for doing better business.
If you don't want to give your company share to investor.Then you should look for government funding.But based on my own experience,it take years to get the fund approved by the government. The other way,is take out a loan from bank.
that is a tough question we were recently offered some money for one of our online business ideas. It was completly unsolicited, so it was a suprise. We are probably going to turn it down. to get partner you want someone you can benifit from more than financially. Hopefully you can find someone with money and experience or money and the contacts you need
