Are there any non-dilutive ways to finance my start-up?

Yes, some start-ups may be able to take advantage of non-dilutive financing opportunities, which means that the company receives money for the business without giving away any ownership of the company itself.  These may include:

• Non-convertible loans
• Government, nonprofit, academic and other grants
• Licensing and royalty payments
• Research and development payments

However, start-ups should evaluate these non-dilutive financing options diligently as there may be significant strings attached, including certain obligations, ongoing commitments, or restrictions on operating the business.
