#2 - How to Pick a Startup Business - Raising Money for a Business Startup

In order to raise money for a startup business, we need to select a business.

According to the SBA, there are approximately 28 Million Small U.S. Businesses.  That is a large field!

In order to narrow down the field, we created a checklist.  This is our wish list...
- Scalable
- Profitable
- Produce cash flow relatively quickly
- Helps another one of our portfolio companies
- Interesting and/or fun business
- Strong likelihood of success
- Can we add value
- Compatibility with their team - matches our core values
- We like the business
- Defendable IP
- Our vested interest
