Within this 99%, there exists a remarkable array of companies with immense potential. These include ventures led by female founders, organizations based outside of venture capital hubs, and purpose-driven enterprises that are simultaneously achieving financial success and making a positive social and environmental impact. Contrary to the portrayal by the venture capital world, there are numerous funding options available for startups and small businesses. Adventure Finance is a comprehensive guide designed to help entrepreneurs navigate these options and gain insights from real-world examples. Written in a straightforward and accessible manner, the book breaks down a range of funding structures, including revenue-based financing, recoverable grants, redeemable equity, and distributed ownership, among others. Through a blend of storytelling and frameworks, based on a decade of research and experience in investing in early-stage companies, this book empowers founders and funders to assess the suitability of each structure for their unique funding journey. The primary objective of this book is to challenge the prevailing narrative around startup funding and broaden the spectrum of \"mainstream\" investment options. By doing so, we aim to create a more inclusive and purpose-driven venture financing world that supports the growth and success of a diverse range of businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 562g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154 x 233 x 30 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030724306\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aunnie Patton Power","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44102789038330,"sku":"9783030724306","price":33.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1655484970802_book.jpg?v=1655740328","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/adventure-finance-how-to-create-a-funding-journey-that-blends-profit-and-purpose-9783030724306","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
