For founders seeking the best alternatives to VC
Hello folks! I’m Esme, the founder of Considered Capital. This is the 19th issue of The Considered Club - a bi-weekly newsletter for founders seeking the best alternatives to VC. The most clicked post from last week’s issue was the Blossom Impact Accelerator. If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read today, join 945 readers and subscribe today!
Final call to apply for our Alternative Funding School! Doors close May 11th.
Just ten seats left on our funding school!
It's been so humbling to find that our Alternative Funding Course has almost sold out. Never have we had so many applicants apply so quickly. We've put so much work into this course and it's grown substantially in lesson videos, expert knowledge and network since we began last year.
If you're considering joining us this year, then it'd be a good idea to apply now as the last seats are being snapped up this weekend as our doors close on Wednesday (I even got a notification to say someone bought a seat while I'm typing this!) I can't wait to meet all the brilliant founders on this year's cohort, it's going to be great.
