Are investors more likely to get involved if you put your own money on the line?

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?
Maybe as an idea, to maintain some separation the deal should be done like an acquisition – ie. they acquire a stake in your business.
Should I steer clear of mixing family with business?
There are numerous cases where families work together and build very successful companies. Where it goes wrong is if agreements aren’t documented and communication is not open and honest.

Being unprepared when approaching investors is probably the single most common reason why entrepreneurs fail to attract capital.
