Business Funding 101: From Bootstrapping to Big Capital

What’s the best way to fund your business—without losing your shirt or your sanity?

In this kickoff episode of our series, we break down every major funding path: traditional loans, SBA-backed programs, crowdfunding, angel investing, venture capital, and even self-funding (aka bootstrapping). With real stats and insights pulled from top sources, you’ll learn the pros, cons, and best-fit scenarios for each method.

You’ll discover:

• Why 78% of businesses start with personal savings—and what to watch out for
• How SBA loans offer stability during economic downturns
• What makes crowdfunding succeed (or flop) on platforms like Kickstarter
• The difference between angel investors, VCs, and private equity (and how they think)
• The credit and funding gaps affecting minority-owned businesses—and where to get support

💼 Whether you’re just launching or scaling up, this episode gives you the clarity, strategy, and confidence to pick the right funding path.
