While there might not be one formula for finding financing for your business, those who have done it say there are ways to increase your chances. The top winners at WeWork\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/creator\/creator-awards\/creator-awards-berlin-brings-bold-ideas-big-impact-and-the-best-beats\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creator Awards Berlin 2018<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014both of which are focused on solving intractable problems\u2014share their tips for landing funding for a purpose-driven idea.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"look-for-grants-in-the-beginning\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Look for grants in the beginning<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPeople working in the social impact realm are usually willing to reduce their profits in order to make an impact,\u201d said Lucas Paes de Melo, founder and CEO of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amparo.world\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amparo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which makes affordable prosthetic devices accessible around the world. The company took home the grand prize in the Business Venture category at Creator Awards Berlin. \u201cInvestors don\u2019t necessarily want to see that.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the Creator Awards Berlin, part of a global competition sponsored by WeWork, Amparo won \u20ac318,000 (about $362,000). Paes de Melo says the funding will help Amparo \u201cget closer to our vision of building our clinics and increasing access to prosthetics in every corner of the planet.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-31011\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/Little-Sun-WeWork-Creator-Awards-Berlin-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re in the early stages of your business plan, the Berlin-based entrepreneur highly recommends looking for grant funding to create a proof of concept and build a track record. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere are a lot of governmental institutions and organizations, like the European Union, for instance, as well as different kinds of foundations offering grants,\u201d he says. \u201cEven some banks give out grants.\u201d Amparo received early funding from government grants and a business development bank, among other sources, which supported the company\u2019s mission and helped it scale. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"be-clear-about-your-vision-and-purpose\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Be clear about your vision and purpose <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s writing grant applications or speaking to potential investors, it\u2019s crucial to clearly communicate the problem you\u2019re tackling and how your company is the best solution. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThink about why your project is an interesting prospect for the person you\u2019re talking to,\u201d says Felix Hallwachs, managing director at the Berlin-based <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/littlesunfoundation.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little Sun Foundation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the winner in the Nonprofit category. Completely financed by grants and donations, Little Sun Foundation provides solar-powered lamps to areas with little or no electricity. \u201cYou have to inspire people to believe in your model, your idea, and your thinking.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded by internationally renowned artist <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Olafur_Eliasson?utm_source=wework&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=creator\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olafur Eliasson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Little Sun took home \u20ac60,000 ($68,000) in funding at the Creator Awards Berlin. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Halliwachs advises to be aware of the kind of language you\u2019re using when pitching your idea to potential funders. Remember that many of them won\u2019t be well-versed in your industry. Avoid jargon. Use easy-to-understand language. And most important of all, tell a compelling story. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Amparo team faced challenges early on because the prosthetics industry uses an array of technical terms. \u201cFrame the problem so people understand what you\u2019re doing,\u201d Pais de Melo says. \u201cMake sure to communicate the benefits of your solution and why it\u2019s better than what\u2019s already out there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"have-your-numbers-ready\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Have your numbers ready <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the best way to impress potential backers is by showing metrics that demonstrate the impact your company is making. Regardless of the industry, investors love numbers that justify why they should put money into the cause. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMake sure to be specific when outlining how your startup will use the investment to fuel growth,\u201d says Pais de Melo. \u201cEven if you have a beautiful product that\u2019s solving a big problem, you have to convince investors with numbers on why they should give you money, what the gains would be, and exactly how you\u2019ll use the funding.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the Creator Awards Berlin, Pais de Melo had the number of people his startup had already helped at his fingertips. It\u2019s one of the reasons his company impressed the judges and went home with the evening\u2019s top prize.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talking to investors?
