Episode 89: Episode 89: Get Ready 1st, Then Get Funded

About this episode

Adrienne Graham discusses the misconceptions around raising capital for businesses and emphasizes the importance of mindset in securing funding.

If you're trying to raise capital for your business because you're struggling, you won't get it. And there is a major conversation happening right now in Black and Brown communities that only half address the investing problem. People often have a misconception about what it takes to get capital investment for their business. I'm here to dispel the myths for you. Capital investments aren't about saving your company or getting you back in the green. It's about giving you an advantage to take a good business to great, while producing a return on the investor's investment. Until you start operating from that frame of mind, you won't get the funding you're looking for. So let's talk about it.
