Raising outside capital can open new opportunities for your business, but it can also introduce new questions around ownership, decision-making, and control.
This session will help you better understand what you’re being offered before you agree to it.
You’ll learn how to read an investment offer, recognize important terms, and better understand how those terms could affect you and your business moving forward.
What You’ll Learn
- How larger investment deals are structured
- How to read and evaluate an investment offer
- Important funding terms entrepreneurs should understand
- How investment terms can affect ownership
- How investment can affect control and decision-making
- Questions to consider before entering an investor conversation
The goal is not just to help you raise money. It’s to help you walk into the conversation informed, prepared, and ready to make decisions that fit your business.
Who Should Attend?
This session is designed for Eastern Kentucky entrepreneurs, startups, and small business owners, especially those who are:
- Preparing to seek larger investments
- Considering outside equity or investor capital
- Reviewing potential investment opportunities
- Growing a business that may require significant capital
- Looking to better understand investor terms and expectations
This workshop is the third session in the SOAR Innovation Fundraising Bootcamps, a three-part virtual series. Each session stands on its own, so you can attend this session even if you did not participate in the first two.

The Fundraising Bootcamps are hosted by SOAR Innovation, led by Appalachian Investors Alliance, and supported by the ARC POWER Initiative.
