Where Do Entrepreneurs Get Their Money?

By Brad Feld (Managing Director, Foundry Group)
My friend Paul Kedrosky who spends some of his time as a Senior Fellow at the Kauffman Foundation, has a thoughtful short video (as part of the Kauffman Sketchbook series) on where entrepreneurs get their money. While it’s easy to get confused and think that VCs are the center of the financing universe, Paul reminds us that most entrepreneurial companies are funded by the entrepreneur’s savings, cash flow, credit cards, friends, and family.

It’s a creative 3-minute video with plenty of meat to it.
