• Love Money (friends, family…)• Bootstraping• Fundraising (seed, Business Angels,

Producing energy from seaweeds

Often, founders have a problem

• …that impacts their life so much that they want to solve it!

• And then they realize it could be a business

• EYODF! (Eat Your Own Dog Food) – be your 1st users!

In a startup, you don't know what you need to build!

But they face a huge challenge

…will be discovered on the way!
