u003cp class=u0022u0022u003eThe venture capital model doesn’t work—at least not for 99% of startups and small businesses. In this 99% are a lot of companies with incredible potential: businesses headed by female founders and those from diverse racial backgrounds, organizations headquartered outside of venture capital hubs, and purpose-driven enterprises that are creating social and environmental impact alongside financial success.u003c/pu003enu003cp class=u0022u0022u003eCounter to what the press-savvy venture capital world would have you believe, there are a lot of funding options out there for startups and small businesses. In her new book, u003ca href=u0022https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030724276#aboutAuthorsu0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eAdventure Financeu003c/au003e, which is based on a decade of research and experience investing in early-stage companies, u003cstrongu003eAunnie Patton Poweru003c/strongu003e helps us understand some of these options and walks us through real examples of how other founders and funders have put them to use.u003c/pu003enu003cp class=u0022u0022u003eIn this program, Impact Entrepreneur’s Laurie Lane-Zucker welcomes u003cstrongu003eAunnie Patton Poweru003c/strongu003e to discuss the different types of funding options available, from revenue-based financing to recoverable grants to redeemable equity to distributed ownership and more. We will also discuss the ways an entrepreneur can determine how each of these structures can contribute to their funding journey, in order to shift the conversation about startup funding and help founders and funders widen the spectrum of “mainstream” investment options so as to make the venture financing world more inclusive and purpose-driven.u003c/pu003e
