Reseña del libro "Upfront Financing in the Digital Age: Funding Advice to the World's 56,000,000 Current Start-ups (en Inglés)"
If your start-up needs capital, David Silver's new book, "Upfront Financing in the Digital Age" will show you 16 different sources of start-up capital. There are numerous alternatives to angel capital or venture capital, and they are not complicated to raise. There is licensee money, vendor financing, purchase order financing, strategic funding, grants, business development corporation funding, reverse mergers into public shells and many more. These 16 different sources of upfront financing come with people's names and how to reach them and they are among the most active check writers in their categories. The book, David's 34th on entrepreneurship and finance, prepares you to answer the five most important questions that all entrepreneurs must answer plus a measurement device to show you the likelihood of your start-up succeeding or failing, or costing too much to make it worth doing. David Silver has raised more than $1.2 billion for 350+ companies over a 44 year career as an investment banker to entrepreneurial companies. When the E-Z Pass zips you through a toll gate, that was one of his start-ups. When your supermarket shopping cart has a mini-billboard on it, that was one of his start-up fundings. Sea-Land, the first container shipping company, the Remington electric shaver, the first electric toothbrush, Frontier Telecommunications, Peachtree Software, Xing Technologies (the ability to send video over the Internet), Collision Hub (a social network for people involved in car accidents), iBoats (a social network for boaters) and Honeycomb (a precision farming company that sells drones to farmers) and dozens more are among David's more than 350 successful start-up fundings. David has frequently used each of the 16 different means of raising start-up capital that he describes in his newest book, "Upfront Financing in the Digital Age", to bring capital to start-up entrepreneurs with a goal of saving as much equity for the founders as possible. So, if you regard raising capital as difficult or complicated, this book will cut through the fog and provide several paths for you to use, and then you can get on with building and operating your new company. Best of luck with that.
