When @energyx set out to raise capital, VCs came knocking—but the terms? Brutal. Board seats, control, low valuations—none of it sat right with @TeagueEgan. He knew what his company was worth—so he decided to take a different path. Fast forward, and EnergyX has raised over $88M from retail investors. Teague still calls the shots—and his retail rounds became key stepping stones to raising VC and institutional capital later, at terms that made sense. Teague isn’t the only founder who’s leveraged direct-to-investor capital to scale. Harmen van Kamp (@airless_wheels) and @SuperSingular (@timeplast ) will be joining us next week to break down how companies can access growth capital without giving up control. 📅 February 20th, 2025 ⏰ 2:00PM ET 🔗 Register here: hubs.la/Q036NqmV0 See you there! #DealMaker #RetailCapital #CapitalRaising #Cleantech
