Throwback: How to Raise Money as an Undocumented Entrepreneur [Step-by-Step] | Ep 100
Description
In this episode, I break down the #1 question I get asked: “How can I raise money for my business if I’m undocumented?” After raising over $30,000, I’m sharing exactly how I did it — from fellowships to accelerator programs to young entrepreneurship grants. I’ll walk you through where to find these opportunities, how to apply, and what I’ve learned from rejections and wins. Plus, I share how I’ve invested that money to grow UndocuStartup™ and how you can do the same.
🔑 In this episode you’ll learn:
8 ways I raised money for my business without DACA
How I approach grant and fellowship applications
Where I reinvested my first grant funds (and why)
📣 Whether you’re a student with an idea, or an ally who wants to see undocumented students win — this episode is for you.
