Introduction
Non-dilutive funding sources play a crucial role in supporting early ventures without the need to give up equity. This type of funding includes grants, loans, competitions, and other forms of financial support that do not require the company to issue new shares or take on additional debt. In recent years, the availability of non-dilutive funding options has increased, providing entrepreneurs with more opportunities to grow their businesses without sacrificing ownership.
This project aims to explore the various non-dilutive funding sources available to early ventures and analyze their effectiveness in supporting business growth. By understanding the advantages and limitations of these funding options, entrepreneurs can make informed decisions about how to finance their ventures without diluting their ownership stake.
