Fundraising by stage
Different funding sources and strategies are tailored to different project stages. Find what’s right for you.
Stage I: Developing a Viable Concept
Do you have a great idea, but haven’t played it out in the real world yet? If so, then you’re in Stage I. At this stage, the name of the game is finding just enough time and money to create a ‘proof of concept’ in order to show how the basics of your idea will work.
Stage II: Launching & Achieving Sustainability
Have you created a ‘proof of concept’ and now you’re out there executing your idea on a small scale? If so, then you’re in Stage II. This stage is all about launching your idea and finding out how to achieve financial sustainability for the long term.
Stage III: Expanding or Scaling Up
Are you off to the races, with evidence that your project is successful and sustainable on a small scale? If so, then you’re in Stage III. Congratulations, that’s no small feat! This final stage is all about scaling up your idea to reach more people and to have a bigger impact on society.
