#10 MFS - RYman2017, Children - Entrepreneurship / Motivation - Money for a Startup

In  this entry, we discuss entrepreneurship and motivation with 10 year-old RYman2017

I would like to encourage children to pursue entrepreneurship.  But how do we compete with the screens, sports, school, and just being a kid?

Based on my conversation with Ryman2017, I think there needs to be a focus on two areas:
- Incentive - What is in it for them?
- Motivation - Picking something they are passionate about.

#8 MFS - How Much to Raise for Uber for Art - Money for a Startup

In this post, I am going to reveal how much money we are going to raise Uber for Art

The goal is to raise enough money to attract private equity in the next 12-18 months

We decided to raise $175,000 in this seed round, which will pay for:
  • ·         Staffing
  • ·         Marketing
  • ·         Technology
  • ·         Artist enrollment costs
  • ·         Market launch costs
  • ·         Fundraising costs
  • ·         Legal
  • ·         Selling, General, and Administrative


We want to raise enough to get us to the next round, but not too much so we don't sell off to much of our business at a very low valuation.
