Are investors more likely to get involved if you put your own money on the line?
That would be a yes! Investors are definitely more likely to fund you if you have invested your own cash. It’s a common question they ask.
Are there trends that indicate where investor money is going?
There is no doubt that 2011 is a good year to be presenting your opportunity, especially if it’s in one of the hottest sectors.
What do I need to do to be “investor ready”?
As a corporate advisor, I meet with many companies who seek investment capital to help with the growth of their business. But attracting investor capital depends greatly on whether you are “investor ready” or not.
How can I prepare my business and myself for an IPO?

I’ve been approached about a merger. Should I consider it?
