Description
Introducing The Escape School's:
The Startup MBA: Funding & Pitching
Raise money for your business
the smart way.
Learn from Entrepreneurs Who Have Done It.
This course demystifies the fundraising process. It is taught by serial entrepreneurs who have started multiple businesses and have been through the fundraising process a number of times.
By the end of this course you will understand valuations, dilution, and the options for raising capital; you’ll also leave with a solid start on your pitch materials and story, plus a list of places to go and people to talk to to take the next steps.
We recommend taking this course alongside our Startup MBA: Foundational course, which covers the general skills of building up a sustainable business from scratch.
