New business. Funding ideas?
I'm genuinely curious on what people with no business background or history do to get funded?
Real talk? Most people starting with zero business background don’t actually get ‘funded’ by investors. That’s more of a tech startup thing.
What actually happens is people usually bootstrap it — they use credit cards, dip into savings, do a few jobs for family and friends, then roll that money into the next job. Some take out a small personal loan or borrow from family.
The truth is, nobody’s handing out business loans to someone with no experience or revenue. You gotta prove it works first by doing it small, then scale up with your own profits.
That’s how most of us actually got started.
