Entrepreneurship and Innovation: Getting it Right and Making it Real
Last week we discussed about how to structure a business idea

                                                                                             9

Entrepreneurship and Innovation: Getting it Right and Making it Real
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

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

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

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
