Finding funding for a startup is not a single, linear path: there are different strategies, tools, and approaches, each with its own specific characteristics and objectives.

 

If you have an entrepreneurial idea and would like to become a startupper, but are unsure how to navigate the world of fundraising, this Innovation Session is designed for you.

 

Through the experience of several startup founders, we will explore the main fundraising methods currently used in the innovation ecosystem. This will be an opportunity to hear directly from those who have gone through this journey, understand the decisions they made, and the factors that influenced them.

Business angels, grants, venture capital, and bootstrapping are all valid options, but it is essential to understand when and why to choose each of them, depending on the stage and needs of your startup.
