WarrenD,

In response to your latest

1. I didn't mention "free money" and I wasn't referring to you specifically. Since I don't have any information about you or your business, please don't take my comments personally.

During the past 7 years, I've encountered many entrepreneurs who did not take the time to get fully prepared (I call it Capital Ready) before they go out and seek the capital. Congratulations to you for putting in the time and effort to prepare.

2. I don't have information about this site specifically. My comment was of a general nature. Although the economic situation is difficult - those with capital to invest are still looking for solid opportunities.

What I do know from past experience, is that private investors (as opposed to professional investors) do not readily identify themselves to the general public - but like to "observe" the entrepreneur for some time before declaring their interest.

3. Since it's not cost effective - I'm not sure how or who would do the screening.

4. Two points I'd like to put forth:
a) Between the "new" money being printed and lending institutions hoarding- the US is virtually awash in cash right now.
b) If one beleives there is no capital available - they will be right.

5 We do not raise capital for clients. There are a number of reasons, but the main one is that, in early stage situations - the entrepreneur and the team are a major success factor. Our business is guiding and assisting early stage businesses to be ready and attractive to capital, then supporting them in the execution of their capital plan.

For most people, raising capital has never been like taking candy for a baby. We beleive that "virtually" anyone in the USA can acquire some capital -if they prepare themselves and their business and follow a system. It all begins with a viable business concept.

Cap,

Where do I start:
1. So are to trying to say most of the people on this forum had an idea, and and came to this forum for all of the free money given out here. I must be missing something, or did it backwards. I've been working on my idea for a year and a half, gone though SCORE (they said I'm ready for funding), taken courses, and started networking in the area I'm into business in. I'm sorry community I did it wrong.

2. That's right cap tell them there's here, they're coming out the walls here, Just the other day I got an e-mail from the Sheikh of Dubai just the other day from this site.

3. It might not be feasable or cost effective, but it's needed here. Up above where I told I was e-mailed by the Sheikh of Dubai, it's true at least that's what he claims. If anybody believes that I got some land 100 miles east of Miami to sell them.

4. Gosh my core counselors say it's hard right now because of the economy right now. So if there is alot out there why don't you grace all of us with your wisdom.

5.Finding capital it's not brain surgery, but it's not like taking candy from a baby either. Tell us what you do, find capital for a price?

Warren

I'd like to chime in and provide some points to ponder from a slightly different view - my passion and business is helping entrepreneurs get started. Since most need or want capital, it's usually a high priority. I am not a supplier of capital nor do I raise it for clients.

1. As previously stated, many folks seem to beleive that having the next great idea is enough to get them the money.

2. When their post doesn't get results - they assume it's because there aren't any investors here.
3. While it might be nice if all the participants in this (or any other site) were "checked out" before they could post - the economics aren't there to support the amount of time and energy required.

4. There is a lot of capital out there looking for solid opportunities that are Capital Ready.
5. Acquiring capital is not brain surgery nor is it magic - but it takes more than the idea. When we seek shortcuts - we are the most vulnerable.
