Startup Funding Decoded

Build a Funding Plan That Matches Your Business — Not Someone Else’s

• Understand all your funding options. Pick the one that fits. Build your business your way.
• Learn how to raise startup capital without wasting months
• No investor hype. No confusing jargon. Just the real strategies that work
• Designed for first-time founders, solo builders, and startup generalists|

__________________________________________________

Why This Is Different:

• It’s designed for founders at any stage — from idea to pre-seed to early traction. No tech bubble assumptions. No “go raise VC money" pressure.
• It gives you a clear, decision-making system to pick what actually works for your business (bootstrapping, crowdfunding, accelerators, angels, VC — all broken down plainly)
• It’s focused on founder clarity and strategic independence — not generic “fundraising hacks” or Silicon Valley bro-talk. You won’t be stuck wondering:
  • What do I do next?
  • Is this the wrong path?
  • Do I even need to raise money at all?

You’ll walk away with answers — and a plan that actually fits your business's status.

This Is For You If:

• You’re building something real — but you’re stuck between bootstrapping, seeking funding, or quitting altogether
• You want to understand your full range of options before giving up equity or control
• You’ve wasted time trying to “figure out” funding from tweets, threads, or bad YouTube videos
• You want a simple, no-BS guide that puts you back in the driver’s seat — fast

What You'll Learn (Even If You're Not Ready to Raise Yet):

• How to build a funding path that doesn’t kill your momentum
• How to avoid wasting time with the wrong investors or models
• How to set up your materials before you need them
• How to explain your ask in a way that builds trust, not confusion
• How to confidently move forward — with or without raising

Note: Currently, only a PDF version of the guide is available.

Imagine this:

• You wake up with three warm intros to aligned angel investors
• You know which funding path fits your business right now
• You don’t waste months — you move forward with clarity
• You say “no” to offers that aren’t aligned — and you're happy about it

"Startup Funding Decoded is one of the few resources that actually meets founders where they are. Instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all path, it lays out the full spectrum of funding options with clarity and honesty." -- Ashish

"What I especially valued was how it highlights not just the mechanics of raising money, but also the trade-offs in control, lifestyle, and long-term outcomes that founders face." 
-- Emma

"It’s the kind of guide I wish I had early on—practical, founder-first, and deeply aligned with real-world startup journeys." -- Peter

FAQ:

“But I’m pre-product — is this for me?”

Yes. The guide walks you through what works at each stage, including ideation. Even if you're pre-product, you’ll know what steps to take next — without getting overwhelmed.

“I’ve already started raising — is it too late?”

Not at all. Most founders pivot their funding approach mid-journey. This helps you course-correct fast.

“I’m bootstrapping — should I still buy this?”

Absolutely. You’ll learn how to supplement with non-dilutive options or prep for potential angels later — without pressure to raise now.
