      abstract = {The venture capital model doesn't work at least not for  99% of startups and small businesses. In this 99% are a lot  of companies with incredible potential: businesses headed  by female founders and those from diverse racial  backgrounds, organizations headquartered outside of venture  capital hubs, and purpose-driven enterprises that are  creating social and environmental impact alongside  financial success. Counter to what the press-savvy venture  capital world would have you believe, there are a lot of  funding options out there for startups and small  businesses. Adventure Finance is designed to help you  understand some of these options, and walk you through real  examples of how other founders and funders have put them to  use. In simple, approachable language, the book breaks down  the different types of funding options available from  revenue-based financing to recoverable grants to redeemable  equity to distributed ownership and more. Through a mix of  storytelling and research-based frameworks, based on a  decade of research and experience in investing in  early-stage companies, this book will give you the ability  to determine how each of these structures can contribute to  your own funding journey. The goal for this book is to  shift the conversation about startup funding and help  founders and funders widen the spectrum of mainstream  investment options in order to make the venture financing  world more inclusive and purpose-driven.
