One of things that surprised me in this week's reading was the fact that companies can raise publicly besides having an IPO. I thought the only way to really sell stock was releasing the company to the public. However, through Regulation D, smaller companies are still able to sell stock and raise money. I did not know that it was possible for smaller ventures to raise money this way, and before reading this chapter I only thought that extremely large companies were able to raise these types of funds.
One thing about this reading that confused me was the section that talked about "other financing sources". The sections about factoring and accounts receivable financing did not make that much sense to me, mainly due to the fact that I have not heard about these methods before and that they are fairly new to me. Hopefully in the future I will be able to grasp these concepts better and have a better understanding of how they can tie into my entrepreneurship experience.
Two questions I would like to ask the author:
1. What is the simplest way you could explain "Angel Financing" to a young college student?
2. What is the best way to grab the attention of a successful Venture capitalist?
Once again, there is nothing a I disagree with, with Kuratko due to the objective nature of his writing. Although there were a few confusing parts, he explained mostly everything pretty well and I agreed with about all of what he had to say.
Until next time,
-Bryce
