Great Resources for Funding Your Business

September 9th, 2009 ::

You probably have figured out by now that I am resource and tip junkie. If there is anything that will help me run my business better and learn from others so I don’t make the same mistake, I am all in.

I recently came across this web site from Microsoft as part of the “Startup Zone“. This section of the site is an amazing list of blog posts, links to templates and great articles on raising capital. This is not limited to the venture capital side of fund raising but covers raising capital from banks, angels and government. It also includes great stuff on writing your business plan, building a financial model and doing your pitch.

You can find it at http://www.microsoftstartupzone.com/Resources/Pages/Get_Funding.aspx and I would take a few hours and dive into this stuff. You will learn a ton.
