Only 1% of companies will be able to raise venture capital, and only 16% will be able to access a bank loan. Experts estimate that a lack of entrepreneur capital options leads to a $4T blindspot (or more). At the same time, demand for early stage startup capital exceeds $3B annually.
For the vast majority of companies, funding options are extremely limited - especially in the early stages. That means that some aspiring founders walk away from pursuing their ideas, and many others turn to personal savings, high-interest credit cards, or money from wealthy connections to launch their business.
