Second Act Funding: Why Age Shouldn’t Get in the Way Some older entrepreneurs or would-be entrepreneurs are hesitant about the prospect of raising capital in an environment where age discrimination still rears its head. Others, though, are finding success through both traditional and new means of funding—from crowdfunding, to angel investors, SBA programs, and strategic partnerships. I’m interested in hearing from: - Lenders, angel investors, etc., who can provide insights on what they look for when making investment decisions and what 55+ borrowers need to know to boost the odds that their projects/businesses will get funded. - 55+ business owners who have successfully raised capitals/received loans and can offer advice and best practices to others.
