Key Trade-offs to Consider
Every funding type has advantages and trade-offs
Grants preserve equity but take 6-12 months. VC moves faster but costs 15-30% ownership. Consider your runway and growth urgency.
Angels and family offices often offer more flexibility. VCs bring board seats and governance. Strategic investors may want exclusivity.
Some funding (grants, strategic) validates your technology. Other funding (VC) validates your market. Both matter at different stages.
