As if that was the only way to finance a company. And as if they actually understand what raising equity based financing even entails. *\[Narrator: It isn’t. And they don’t.\]* That’s why I’m always happy to see new resources pop up to support different paths of financing. Like this grant database that just came across my desk, [Founder Grants](https://foundergrants.com/). > Today we're happy to share , an easy way to find & share grants for your startup, so you can fund your company without giving up equity: > > This early release comes pre-loaded with 80+ grants, but users can also submit their own! > > — 1517 Fund (@1517fund) [July 13, 2020](https://twitter.com/1517fund/status/1282665145655795713?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) If you’re seeking capital for your startup, it might be worth poking around that database a bit.
