PREPARE to Fund Your Technology Development
Finding funding for technology development can be a daunting process. Sources of funding, which include Federal Grants, State economic development funds, debt financing from investment banks, and equity funding from Angels or Venture Capital, will use some form of rating to determine your suitability for funding. This article presents a schema for evaluating a venture's "Funding Readiness Level (FRL) ®", which includes the market readiness of the technology or "Technology Readiness Level (TRL)", the maturity of the business or "Business Readiness Level (BRL)", and the ability of the venture to manage the deal process and negotiate in its own best interest or "Dealsmanship".

To say it a bit more accurately, it's those things we feel like we can't say for fear that we'll get into trouble with the other person that end up shaping the relationship and often in ways that ultimately are unhealthy for everyone involved.

Ambition, Resilience and Starting Over
Judy Elder was the General Manager of Microsoft's Consumer Division in 2002. Shortly after she gave this inspiring speech, she had a brain aneurysm and died at the age of 47. Judy talks about ambition and why we shy away from embracing women who have ambition. Feeling confident in yourself takes a lot of trust.
