On April 4th, we co-hosted a webinar featuring Boast Capital co-founder, Lloyed Lobo, and Lighter Capital CEO BJ Lackland. They discussed how entrepreneurs can skip a round of VC funding—thus preserving equity and ownership—using two methods of alternative financing.
BJ provided an overview of revenue-based financing. Lloyed discussed how businesses get $250,000 per year from the IRS through the US R&D tax credit program. You can see the recap video and slides below.
