5. Credit or Investment?
Credit - you get money, save all equity, manage your
company as you wish. But you have to bail something
and return money back, in time.
Investment - you lose equity, investor tells you how to
spend money and to manage your business! But you
share all risks and don't have to return the real
money :)
Note: If you want to play investments game your company

has to be "sold" at the end!
6. Investors. Who are they?
3F investors - friends, family, and fools. They give money
for the idea or into the team (seed investments).
Angel investors give money to find and develop scalable
business model ($50-300K for 10-30%).
Venture capital funds give money to scale successful and
profitable business ($1m+ for 20-40%).
Note: There are lots of people with money, but not all of
them can be investors, don't play the game without rules!
