About Us: Avoiding Common Funding Mistakes
Our Journey Began in 2012
Avoiding Common Funding Mistake (ACFM) was founded in 2012 with a vision to empower entrepreneurs and investors alike by shedding light on the often-overlooked intricacies of funding. We recognized that the world of finance can be a complex labyrinth, filled with common pitfalls that many aspirational businesses and their founders fall into.
Our founding team, driven by personal experiences and a collective passion for financial literacy, set out to create a one-stop resource center dedicated to guiding individuals through the maze of funding options. Over the years, we’ve grown from a modest online platform to a thriving community of like-minded individuals seeking insightful and unbiased advice.
Milestones and Achievements:
- 2015: Launched our first e-book series, “The Ultimate Guide to Angel Investors,” offering invaluable insights into securing funding from high-net-worth individuals.
- 2017: Introduced our interactive online course, “Funding 101,” which has since become a cornerstone of our educational content.
- 2019: Expanded our team and resources, allowing us to cover a broader spectrum of funding topics, including venture capital, crowdfunding, and government grants.
- 2021: Achieved over 5 million page views, solidifying ACFM as a leading online resource for funding-related information.
