Dave, I’m involved with a software startup that’s ready to raise some money so they can grow more quickly. I don’t know anything about venture capital, so I thought I’d ask you. How do we find a relatively small amount of VC money ($250K)? The company in question makes software for investors. Can you give me advice on how to proceed?
Dave, I keep getting messages about companies that have “filed their 8-K” but the email doesn’t explain what an 8-K is, it just assumes I know. But I don’t. What’s an 8-K and what does it have to do with me as an investor?
I just had someone tell me I’m a “micromanager”, but I have no idea what this really means. Yeah, I have a high attention to detail and I like to have things done right the first time, but why is this a negative?
Dave, I’ve just started attending professional networking events and don’t really know how best to present myself and my company to the people who attend. Are there some tips or tricks you can share regarding how to talk about myself and how to make a good impression? I have the usual interests in partnering with others, gaining new customers and clients, etc.
Dave, can I ask a real basic question? What is ERP and why would a company of any size want it?
Dave, I received the following message. Should I bother following up with this firm?
Dave, I’m not sure where to turn so I’m going to ask you: how much do I have to worry about what people who are part of my far-flung “virtual” corporation do when they’re not working directly for me? I can’t share too many details because the situation is touchy, as you might expect, but basically I have someone working for me as a writer, contributing material for my blog, and I have been hearing that he’s writing some pretty far out, offensive material on other sites. Do I need to worry about it?
