Other people's money

Most start ups don't happen using other people's money. Unless they are borrowing from family members. Our users tell us that they get their $$$ from the following places:

- refinance their home

- take out another loan

- borrow from friend or family

- take money out against their health insurance (please don't do this)

- or even sell some of their precious possessions (I had to sell my one Babe Ruth baseball card)

They have to do this because it can be a real challenge to get a loan. Most banks will not lend money until there is some sort of proven track record (ie. two or so years of financial records).

Whatever happened to supporting the good old entrepreneurial spirit of our country.

Great site for Podcasts

We are slowly doing more and more podcasts. Like they say, all good things take time. And we have a great way to learn what is really going on out there on the web.. and I recommend you do what we are doing. Check out the Open Culture website. Lots of great podcasts -- most of them are University related, but hey... good things are happening in our schools these days. :  )
