Venture Capitalist Money is down 61%. So where are we going to get new money to start businesses? People how have gotten venture capital before more likely to get it again. Where are these people and how do you get to them?
One of the best books I have read to explain the entire venture capitalist game is Reality Check by Guy Kawasaki. This is a 400+page book which explains the game to regular folks. This is where you need to be fully engaged and ready to rock. If you are not ready for the opportunity, you won’t get it.
The old days of getting a bunch of credit cards does not work that well. Banks are changing names, closing accounts and basically are making it difficult to work with them. The SBA has new programs however most are not funded yet.
The SBA has a free online course at

There you can learn and get a complete understanding of what is available.
Alternative funding is available more than bank funding, yet not many people know about it or look into it.
We’ll be talking about that at our next workshop:
