Strategies to Save Equity

🚨 Disclaimer: This is not expert advice; it is completely my personal opinion.

Convertible debt and SAFE funding structures offer a combination of security, potential for high returns, and flexibility, making them attractive options for investors, especially in the high-risk, high-reward world of early-stage startups.

However, I as a startup founder, I feel like one of my duties is to save as much equity as possible within the company among founders.

Here are 3 strategies I have found to save some equity:

1️⃣ Bootstrap - financing a startup using personal savings, revenue from initial sales, or support from friends and family, without relying on external investors.

2️⃣ Grants and Competitions - funding through grants, competitions, or government programs designed to support startups.

3️⃣ Debt Financing - borrowing money through loans or credit, which must be repaid with interest.

Let me know if there are other strategies out there.
