Navigating Non-Equity Funding – A Founder’s Guide

Description

This founder-focused guide unpacks the growing world of non-equity funding; a set of funding paths that help you fuel your startup’s growth without giving up ownership. In a market where VC dollars often dominate the headlines, this guide shows how debt, grants, and alternative financing can offer founders more control and flexibility and often a better fit for your business model.

What's inside:

1. A plain-English breakdown of what non-equity funding is and why it matters

2. Deep dives into four key funding paths:

  • Grants and competitions
  • Revenue-based financing
  • Loans and credit lines
  • Strategic partnerships and corporate programs

3. Real-world examples and tips for finding the right fit

4. Practical advice for founders: when non-equity funding is a better bet, and how to combine it with traditional VC down the road

This resource is for:

  • Founders and early-stage teams in Africa are looking for capital but not ready to sell equity.
  • Entrepreneurs in sectors like fintech, healthtech, or social impact who might qualify for grants or revenue-based funding.
  • Any startup team that wants to explore sustainable, ownership-friendly ways to grow.
