There has been an explosion in financing options, and all indicators show it’s not likely to slow down anytime soon. We think this is a good thing; more financing companies and mechanisms ultimately mean more options for founders to identify the capital they need to accomplish their goals.

However, as founders ourselves, we found it difficult to track down all in one place. So, we decided to make one! Our fundscape features over 100 funding options for founders.

Our team set out to map top players in many of the key categories that startups are likely to consider. The Fundscape features the following categories:

  • Early Stage Venture Capital
  • Growth Stage Venture Capital
  • Alt/Flexible VC
  • Venture Debt
  • Crowdfunding (equity, reward-based, and donation-based)
  • Inventory financing
  • Working Capital
  • Factoring
  • Loans
  • Asset-Based Funding
  • Corporate Credit Card
  • Grants
  • Accelerators

Whew, that’s a lot of categories! We hope it’s as helpful to you as it has been for us.
