15 Aug Examining Funding Gaps
During this week, you will begin to estimate the amount of funding you need for this stage of your venture. For this assignment, complete the following, using your financial statements from Assignment 1:
- What area(s) do you notice a gap in funding (a shortfall in capital needed to fund future operations or projects)? Really evaluate, even if it’s $1,000 or $10,000; identify it.
- Evaluate those gaps to determine the cause of those gaps.
- Prioritize your funding needs. You might use the below matrix as a template; include all gaps you have examined:
