How does an entrepreneur launch and scale a successful startup if he or she has little or no money?
This is the situation most startup founders find themselves in. They want to build a world-changing business, but they don't have enough money to rent a desk at a pricey co-working space, let alone launch their product.
Captain Hoff (a.k.a. Steve Hoffman), angel investor and Captain of Founders Space, will tell you exactly what you need to do to succeed before the VCs and angels shower you with money (or in case no investors are willing to provide you with funding).
