Practical Information to Get You Started

The following series is intended to help level the playing field for you, as an entrepreneur, as you work on raising capital for your company. You may have a business plan, or you may just be starting to write one. You may even have already scheduled meetings with venture capitalists. Regardless of where you are in the process, I share with you my insights from sitting on both sides of the table—as an entrepreneur seeking capital and as an investor providing that capital—to help you avoid the most common pitfalls when trying to attract investors.

The first two articles are posted here on the website. To read the entire series (plus new articles in the weeks to come), please sign up for our FREE mailing list.
