274. How to Effectively Raise Money for Your Startup

The number one reason startups fail is a lack of cash flow. There are many ways to raise funds for your startup. You could try to get a loan from the bank, or you could bring in angel investors or venture capitalists to invest in your company. But there is one thing all these sources of funding have in common: they want to see a good return on their investment. This episode talks about the importance of creating value for your investors and making sure your business is attractive to potential funders. (Excerpt from Susan's keynote recorded live at the Weekend MBA Event)
