Big thank you to everyone who joined us last week for Naturally New York's Investor Bootcamp: Demystifying Debt & Equity Raises! 🙌 Our co-founder Ben Brachot teamed up with industry pros Irina Sirota (Bank of America) and Stephen Plattman (Anchin) for a fireside chat breaking down the elusive non-dilutive financing space and offering tips for a smooth due diligence process. A lot was covered, so let's recap: ▶ START EARLY ⏰ Collaborate with a professional to keep your documentation sharp and your collateral in check from the start, saving you from costly fixes later. ▶CHOOSE WISELY 🎯 Use short-term solutions like credit cards, MCAs, and PO financing strategically until you're ready for more sustainable options like asset-based lending or traditional bank financing. ▶RELATIONSHIPS MATTER 🤝 Pick a financing partner who gets your business and stands by you in crucial moments. Also consider pricing, availability, and ease of use. Can't forget about the brilliant group of investors featured in the event's second panel: Demystifying equity raises. Melissa Dolan (Emil Capital Partners), Denise Lambertson (CONSTELLATION CAPITAL) Erin Lambroza (L Catterton) If you missed it and want to learn more about your financing options directly from the experts, follow Naturally New York for updates on the next Investor Bootcamp!
