New Business and Capital

Welcome to 2013!

One of the most common challenges facing you as a business start-up owner is capital. This critical asset must be understood and addressed early in your business development and planning. When investors look at your business they will have a close look at your sales and marketing budgets. This will tell them if you understand your business model or not. Thus, there are two To Do items suggested here to address this potential knock-out punch. The first is a one day seminar that helps you understand what and how to talk to Angel investors and the second is support in developing a realistic sales and marketing budget to support your capital requirements.

To Do One: Avoid the Knock-Out Punch

Here is the information and link for the Angel Venture Capital overview workshop in Vancouver on January 29th, run by Bob Chaworth-Musters, Angel Forum-Vancouver.

If you are interested in Angel Venture Capital, ask yourself:
- What should Investors look for and focus their limited due diligence time on?
- With volatile public tech valuations, how do I value a private pre-revenue company?
- Do I understand the legal language and ramifications of an investment term sheet?
- What post investment activities (mentoring, directorship, etc.) are required?
- Do I want to meet and network with Angel experts, fellow investors and entrepreneurs?

Thank you for the great workshop, Bob!

To Do Two: Build a Credible Sales and Marketing Budget
