I just posted this on SoCal Buzz but realize this has much wider implications than just Southern California. So, I decided to re-post it here.

What is Senator Dodd Thinking about Small Business?

Senator Dodd's Financial Reform Bill is working its way through the Senate. Now I don't know many people who do not agree that we need some controls in place to ensure that the banking industry doesn't do the more of the same that helped created the crisis in 2008. Or that we really can't allow a business segment to be so big that failure is no longer an option and massive amounts of bail out money is required to stop a global financial crisis.

Don't Blow it by Being Sloppy!

On Friday, I saw a number of presentations by companies looking for startup funding. I found it hard to believe the number of companies that provided Fact Sheets with mistakes especially in the financial projections. How stupid can you be! All the work it takes to get to a point where you are finally ready to present your opportunity to a group that might just have what you need most, financing, and your being sloppy stops you dead in your tracks.

Is This Really a Good Time to Start a Company?

I spent last Thursday and Friday in Palm Desert at an Angel Capital Conference and Forum.  With the economy the way it is and companies shutting down or downsizing, there are more people who are thinking about starting a business. One of the questions that entrepreneurs had was, “is this a good time to start a business?” A number of people think it is. There are plenty of examples of bad economies being a catalyst for starting businesses.
