    About this audiobook

    From a TechCrunch founder and award-winning strategist comes the most comprehensive guide to the newest fundraising options for today's entrepreneurs.

    Fundraising for startups has changed dramatically in the past decade. There was a time when VCs were rock stars and a founder with a big idea and a little drive could raise a few hundred thousand dollars to build a business. But those days are gone. In the aftermath of the Great Recession and a massive drop in tech investments, it's become harder and harder for founders to raise money. The good news? Today's entrepreneurs have more options than ever before-with greater opportunities to get the ball rolling, get investors excited, and Get Funded!

    A comprehensive, cutting-edge guide from tech journalist and entrepreneur John Biggs and communication strategist Eric Villines, Get Funded! will enable you to: create a solid business plan and a powerful story that investors respond to; explore a wide range of funding options-and find the ones that are right for you; understand valuation and dilution; plan, prepare, and deliver the perfect pitch; raise money through grants, micro-loans, micro-donations, and crowdfunding; and take advantage of the latest online resources and financial tools.
