Jul 31, 2019 By Marty Zwilling

If your startup is looking for an angel investor, it makes sense to present your plan to flocks of angels, and assume that at least one will swoop down and scoop you up. Or does it? Actually numbers and locations are just the beginning. The challenge is to find the right angel for you, and […]

Jul 26, 2019 By Ryan Kidman

Before 2008, small businesses could easily secure funding. Everything changed once the Great Recession took hold. The days of easy funding ended in a matter of weeks.

5 Startup Cost Realities Most Founders Underestimate

Jun 19, 2019 By Marty Zwilling

Starting a new venture still costs real money, even though the entry price has come down dramatically in last few decades. For example, I come from a software background, and back in the early PC days, it could easily cost half a million dollars for a team of professionals to produce a commercial product. Now, […]

Commercial finance is the term used to define a huge range of financial products available to businesses. It’s used for a variety of different reasons, with short-term and long-term deals available.

Would You Sign a Personal Guarantee if You Have Investors?

Mar 22, 2019 By Dave Berkus

It’s a fact of life that a banker, lender or lessor will ask for a personal guarantee from the founder or entrepreneur most every time. But what if you’ve diluted your interest from 100% to something less than 50%? Should your investors expect you to carry 100% of the risk? The short answer is “yes.” […]

Oh, Go Ahead and Ask for a $5 Million Investment in Your Startup

Mar 15, 2019 By Dave Berkus

I cannot tell you how many times I have seen executive summaries of business plans in which the entrepreneur seeks $5,000,000 to build the business. Four reasons you should reconsider. First, few startups can use that much money today with all the virtual services available and increasingly inexpensive methods of development, prototyping and marketing. Second, almost […]

Funding Alternatives Change as Your New Venture Grows

Feb 27, 2019 By Marty Zwilling

Some entrepreneurs start polling venture capitalists for that multi-million dollar investment before they even have a business plan. That’s like trying to sell part of something to a stranger for big money when you haven’t fully defined it yet.
