Business Update: Pushing Forward on Funding
Date Created: 02/14/2025
Starting this business has been a huge learning experience. I’ve put in the work to get everything set up, from the business structure to operations, networking, and marketing. Now, I’m at a point where the biggest thing holding me back is funding.
I’ve tried going through the traditional routes—banks, loans, and grants—but my age has made that nearly impossible. Most lenders won’t work with someone under 18, and finding grants that fit my business has been a struggle. So, I’ve had to take a different approach.
Right now, I’m focusing on crowdfunding and looking for investors. I’ve been posting on LinkedIn, sharing my story, and reaching out to people who might be interested in supporting the business. It’s not easy, but I know that funding is the last major piece I need to put in place before I can fully launch.
This process has been frustrating at times, but I’m not giving up. Every challenge I’ve faced so far has taught me something, and this one is no different. I’m staying focused, building connections, and doing everything I can to make this happen.
If you’re interested in learning more or know someone who might want to be part of this journey, feel free to reach out. Every bit of support helps, whether it’s advice, connections, or just spreading the word.
I’ll keep pushing forward—this is just the beginning!
