Forum Prompt:

Review this week’s Lesson and Readings. Here we will learn what it means to find financing for your startup. This process can be confusing even discouraging if you don’t have knowledge of your options. There are numerous routes you can take in both the Private Equity and Debt Financing worlds. It is essential to be knowledgeable about all of the options and to weigh the pros and cons of each before making a decision.
