What Venture Capitalists Are Looking For


  • They are looking for passion
How bad do you want it
Would you do it everyday without getting paid

  • Consumer Base
Whos all buying into your company
Youll buy water, clothes, food
Youll pay for a mansion, audi, or a swimming pool

  • Seasoning
Experience, business savvy
Youve failed

  • A Team
Passion, flexibility(are you willing to change)
Who's all on your team
You have to have the right people
Smart and Intelligent people
*The Wise Man Knows He Knows Nothing*

  • Opportunity
Why should they buy your service or product
Everyone needs your service
The next million dollar service

  • The Market
Is it expandable
Can everyone use it
is it defensible through thick and thin
Don't be afraid to take risks and to fail


Science notes from an Entrepreneur' speech

    I wonder what would happen if an entrepreneur took up President Obama's offer--via the J.O.B.S. Act of 2013 to solicit investment in $100 shares from "unaccredited (i.e., small) investors? By the way, "JOBS" = "Jump-start Our Business Startups".

    My question to any investor, accredited or unaccredited, would be, "How long can you wait for your desired ROI ("return on investment")? Sometimes developing a company and its products takes time. Let us hope that your investors are not impatient....

    In the meantime, I am going to check out the Goverment Publications Office notice of the Act, at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-112hr3606enr/pdf/BILLS-112hr3606enr.pdf, and the book, _The JOBS Act: Crowdfunding for Small Businesses and Startups by William Michael Cunningham (2013).

The Best Obama Book and Book Signing

Image
Hello Readers, Today we went to a book signing and I was very happy! There was a lot of people, there was a girl tugging at my leg. Nikki Grimes said that she wanted us to dream on. I had a book about BARACK OBAMA signed by Nikki Grimes and illustrator Bryan Collier. I asked, what made you want to write a book about Barack Obama? She paused for a few seconds and said, " Yes I love to write, it would be lots of publicity, and it would bring attention to my other books and writings. Once the research began, she began to like him, she began to understand his message, leaning more led to greater appreciation. Following his campaign ups and downs made my heart jump." The book was a "crash book." In December of 2007, the publisher contacted her and requested 3 weeks for research and writing, as opposed to the usual 3 to 4 months for book research alone. Here is the author's website: http://www.nikkigrimes.com/

Math Test

Hello Readers, I have a Math test on Friday, February 13,2009 about congruent, similar figures, symmetry, flip, slide, turn. This is what I have learned: Congruent is a shape that is the same size and same shape. Similar figure is a figure that is a shape that is a smaller size of the same shape. Symmetry is a shape that you can fold in half and it looks the same on both sides. Flip is when a shape is flipped. Slide is when a shape moves but does not change shape. Turns is when a shape has a point that moves in any direction.
