SUMMARY:i4 Series: Capital Isn't Cash
DESCRIPTION:Most founders think capital is the problem. It isn’t. They try to raise money before they’ve built something worth funding. Long before a check gets written\, the real work happens with customers who pay\, partners who commit and grants that de-risk early assumptions. \nThat’s the capital stack\, and most founders only count half of it. \nOn Aug. 18\, we’re digging into what the full stack looks like\, when bootstrapping works and when it slows you down\, and how to position for grants\, angels\, crowdfunding or VC instead of guessing which one fits.
