Non-Dilutive Funding 101
Video from Startup CPG. Watch on YouTube.
What you'll get
In a Startup CPG webinar, a co-founder of the lender Spring and the founder of a skincare brand cover ways to fund growth without selling equity: purchase-order financing, invoice factoring, revenue-based financing, asset-based lending and financing against forecast sales, plus how to compare offers. No neutral lesson on inventory or purchase-order financing for makers turned up, so this one comes from the CPG track; one speaker represents a lender, so compare the total cost of any offer, not the advertised rate.
