    You’re listening to “Bunker Labs Presents A Crash Course in Venture Capital with Paul Capon, Managing Partner of LunaCap Ventures. I’m “IRON” Mike Steadman, Member of the Bunker Labs Branding Team and the Executive Producer. In this first episode, Paul introduces himself and discusses the difference between a small business and a start-up. Contrary to popular opinion,  Not all businesses are suited for venture capital. Thanks to the prevalence of shows like Shark Tank, there’s a misconception that Venture Capital is the only way to start a business, when in reality,  Venture Capital only works for a specific type of businesses, with scalable business models and large market opportunities. According to Paul, 90-95% of companies do not need, and should not be seeking, venture capital. This episode is meant to help you determine whether or not you meet the criteria, and what you can expect should you pursue the VC route. By the end of this episode, you’ll know - the difference between a small business and a start-up - The Fundraising Landscape - And how you can still achieve business success without taking on a bunch of outside investors. Paul and I hope you enjoy the following the episode and that it accelerates you on your entrepreneurial journey.
