Overdrafts, loans, angel investors, crowdfunding, private equity. When launching or growing a business, the decision on how to finance it is the most important you’ll ever make. It can mean the difference between surviving and thriving, but can also come back to haunt you when you’re looking at exiting. In this episode, I discuss the options available when funding a startup and what investors look for in an early stage startup. I also explain why I chose to bootstrap Myprotein and what I’d do today if I was starting a new business.
