If you’ve ever wondered how to get funding for your startup without giving away all your equity, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Kat Weaver, founder of Power to Pitch, who helps early-stage founders master their message, win grants, and pitch with confidence. Kat turned her own scrappy startup into a six-figure business by winning pitch competitions—and now she teaches others how to do the same.
In this episode, we break down:
- How to find and win non-dilutive grants
- What makes a pitch investor-ready
- And how to create that elusive FOMO that gets investors to say yes
Whether you’re raising money now or preparing for the future, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you fund your business on your own terms.
