The VC Version of Kick the Can
I got an email this morning from an entrepreneur that I know that has been trying to raise an early round from a "seed VC investor" for the past few months. He's put together (and closed) a decent angel round and left it open for this seed investor.

What makes a word a seed? Good Seed grows into Belief (the first storm arrives. The sprout survives...) Tested Belief grows into Faith (another storm comes. The sapling bears it with less danger) Strong Faith grows our Hearts (a third storm comes.

Blessings to you this holiday season.

Affirmations
Affirmations do work! Often people give up on affirmations after a few weeks as they feel that they are not working. I often describe an affirmation as being like a seed. You have to be patient, nurture it and cherish it, until it blossoms into what you desire. Often you can’t see the seed growing under the earth – but it is! You just have to trust.

Attracting an investor is like attracting a mate—you want to pique the investor’s interest without showing all your cards at the outset. The perfect vehicle for achieving this delicate balance is the Executive Summary. The goal of an Executive Summary is to whet the appetite of the investor by presenting a compelling premise, an irresistible hook.

Investor Presentations: The How To's of Success
Few presentation appearances will test your ability to communicate more than the investor presentation. For better or worse, judgement of your performance will be swift, usually within the first thirty seconds. Even with these high stakes, presenters make some common mistakes in preparing for these crucial business presentations. Here are some basics to keep in mind before your next investor presentation.

Writing a Compelling Executive Summary
Most guides to writing an executive summary miss the key point: The job of the executive summary is to sell, not to describe.

From the humble beginnings, the idea, the seed and the penny proliferate and cover the swamp as the hyacinth does. have you planted your seed, have you invested your first penny or have you put that idea for high tech invention down on paper to make it become a reality? Start today to make you dreams a reality, entrepreneurs. Begin at the beginning, plan, grow and multiply.
Defining “Hard Money”
Even though the rates can be high, hard money can be quite useful when an investor has an opportunity to buy a property for a low price and sell it for a profit.
