Raising Startup Capital: What New Founders Need to Know

Securing funding is one of the biggest hurdles for early-stage entrepreneurs. Knowing where and how to find the right financial support can transform your startup idea into a thriving venture.

Join us at Trinity Western University’s Richmond (Minoru) campus for an essential talk tailored to first-time founders:

“Raising Startup Capital: What New Founders Need to Know”

Why this event matters
Many promising startups stall because founders aren’t familiar with the diverse funding landscape—angel investors, grants, crowdfunding, incubators, and more. This session will demystify each option, show you how to position your startup to attract capital, and highlight common pitfalls that can derail your fundraising efforts.
