How to fund a startup

Entrepreneurs have many options when it comes to raising money for a new business. From Kickstarter campaigns to venture capital investors, family loans to selling your own plasma (really?!)..these are a few of the alternative funding methods discussed on St. Louis Public Radio this week. 

Featured guests included:

  • Cliff Holekamp, Director of the Entrepreneurship Platform at the Olin School of Business at Washington University in St. Louis
  • Katie Lee, Founder and Owner of Katie’s Pizza and Pasta in Rock Hill. Last year, Lee raised about $40,000 through Kickstarter.
  • Steven Marciniak, Co-Founder & CEO of TrakBill, a St. Louis start-up that has received funding from a variety of sources including an Arch Grant and venture capital fund.
