#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
