On Friday, Indiegogo announced it has teamed up with General Assembly, 500 Startups, TechStars, Startups.co, and Rent the Runway to present Startup Fundraising 101, a guide that reveals the pros and cons of finding funding. The guide will also walk readers through crowdfunding, bootstrapping, and even accelerators to help users make the right call about their businesses and projects.
The global crowdfunding portal revealed:
“Every startup has its own unique needs, and with our years of experience in helping businesses take off… we get that. That’s why we’ve tapped into the entrepreneurial knowledge of General Assembly and the accelerator expertise of 500 Startups, among others. You’ll breeze through this guide, with its easy-to-read Q&A style, and walk away with a basic grounding in the most common forms of fundraising. It wraps up with a personal interview with Jenn Hyman, co-founder of Rent the Runway, who offers no-nonsense advice about VC funding that any entrepreneur can relate to on some level. If you’re unsure about how your business can take its next step, Startup Fundraising 101 might have your answer.”
