What are Capital Pathways?
A Capital Pathway is a comprehensive way of looking at how you’re bringing money into your company – not just in the short-term – but in support of what’s needed before and after receiving funding. You can think of Capital Pathways as a preview of how capital models work (or don’t work) to help you achieve your business vision.
Begin your capital journey
This is an invitation to connect to your biggest dream for your business and begin pursuing capital from this perspective – letting your needs and values as a founder drive capital exploration and goals.
Each capital type, based on its structure, informs business conditions like the pace of growth, ownership autonomy, and what capital will follow. The interactive set of exercises contained in this workbook will help you align your needs as a leader with growth opportunities that inform capital options for further exploration.
Information included will help you:
- Define your vision related to capital needs
- Map and prioritize top capital considerations
- Identify outside capital amounts needed for growth
- Search glossary of key terms
- Navigate favorite resources by capital types
