If you fund your company, even a little, you’ve just sold it. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but one day. That’s because rational investors are funding your company in the expectation that you are going to sell it and make them a profit. (sure there are exceptions, but not many). So, if you don’t expect that your company will be easy to sell for a big profit, or you don’t ever want to sell your company, it’s not a smart idea to raise money for it.

Seeking Funding…
Folks, it all depends on WHO the investor is, when seeking fund. Often what you read about are the VC’s –venture capitalists who seek to sell a company when the timing is correct. However, there are 100’s of thousands of other “WHITE KNIGHT” type of funding sources that don’t aim at lofty riches. The VC’s may expect large returns because overall they *win* only 9 out of 10 times, while reaching for an annual return of 40%. On the other hand, you can find WHITE KNIGHT type of Investors who are willing to stick with you over the long-haul. This is specially true with real estate.
I would recommend that you focus your investment strategy on LINK MINDED INDIVIDUALS who are in the SAME INDUSTRY when it comes to raising funds.
Success, Webmaster*SAM
