One of the most difficult parts of starting a startup for any entrepreneur is finding that small bit of seed capital to get things going.
Luckily, there are a number of different roads you can take to get from concept to Series A. Below is a list of seed funding options for startup entrepreneurs.
1. Bootstrap from revenues.
2. Self-fund on credit cards and a second mortgage.
3. Do consulting on the side to self-fund.
4. Raise funds from friends and family.
5. Use angels as a bridge to Series A.
6. Seek out founder-only evergreen seed funds.
7. Get a convertible loan from a VC.
