During your career you may face the issue of raising capital for your start-up or on behalf of your company • From public co-funding schemes (Horizon 2020 etc.) • From family and friends • From banks • From crowdsourcing platforms • From angel investors • From venture capital funds Explaining your Business Model (explain how you plan to make money) is going to be key for convincing your investor to fund you 4 © 2013 IXL Center Inc.

There are different ways of funding your business Debt: Your funder lends you money asking you to reimburse the funds + an interest rate (if family is involved this doesn’t necessarily apply); Equity: Your funder invests in your company in exchange of a share of the latter (share depends on the company valuation and on your negotiation skills); Mezzanine: Your funder lends you money and gets an option to convert it in a share in case that some covenants are/are not met 5 © 2013 IXL Center Inc.

Start-up challenges are a good way to pitch your idea and get funding • Check what kind of initiatives are considered for funding before applying • Application processes, logistics and rules are not necessarily the same for each event 6 © 2013 IXL Center Inc. All Rights Reserved
Crowd-funding is the “newest” way of having the crowd funding you There are three main ways of asking the crowd to support you: 1. Reward based crowd-funding: The crowd asks for a non-monetary reward 2. Equity based crowd funding: The crowd invests 3. Debt based crowd funding: The crowd lends you money in exchange of an interest rate 7 © 2013 IXL Center Inc. All Rights Reserved
