122. Know When to Seek Funding as a Woman Entrepreneur

 Corinne Goble, CEO of the Association of Women’s Business Centers, explains why waiting to explore funding until you urgently need it leads to fewer options, more stress, and rushed decisions. She walks you through what “capital-ready” really means, why clean financials and a simple forecast matter, and how to decide between loans and investors (including the real cost of equity). You’ll also hear how AI and platforms like TikTok and Instagram can help you test ideas faster, but why funders want stability beyond a single platform. The episode closes with a practical prompt you can use today: “If I had funding tomorrow, I’d use it for ___ because ___.”  Guest – https://hope2women.org/AppleSpotify YouTube  Share it with friends who may like it too :)Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynettedale/ New: Join me and other midlife women entrepreneurs in my new community!!  https://www.skool.com/midlifewomenentrepreneurs/about?ref=c844a8daeed141d7a8ddef39d23cdeb6
