Show Notes
🎙️ Welcome back to the holiday edition of Zero to Traction.
Fresh off a marathon and a bout of illness, Cameron joins JDM to dive deep into the all-important topic of funding, and asks, should venture capital really be at the top item on your Christmas wish list? 🤔
We start by exploring alternative funding methods — there are only eight ways to get money, after all (including some shady ones we definitely don’t recommend), then provide some sneaky tips on utilizing consulting work, pivoting when funding falls through, and more.
Of course, we end the show as we always do with frivolity!
* Cameron gives a sprinkle of history about the origin of the marathon, including some cheeky fun facts about the British royal family;
* JDM recommends a charming new Netflix show.
