All of these videos and tips are excellent, thanks! Your tip about not giving up on your startup while in the funding process was eye-opening. It’s sometimes easy to get bogged down and distracted with the funding and legal processes that entrepreneurs and business owners tend to shift away from the heart and core (and “big picture”) of the business.

I am currently in the research and development stages of my internet startup and all of your blogs/posts/videos have been extremely helpful and inspiring. My partner and I have particularly enjoyed your startup tips, business plan, and financial modeling blogs. Your competitor evaluation article has been helpful too, as we are currently working on the competitive analysis portion of our plan.

What are you feelings about debt vs. equity financing? I saw your recent post about the different kinds of financing, but I wanted to get your opinion on why you would choose one over the other. Are angel investors willing to invest in an internet startup without a track record? I guess the only way I can see that happening is if the startup has a great idea, a solid business plan and a strong leadership team. If our team is young, with little management skills, this could pose a problem. What are your thoughts?

Do women entrepreneurs stand at a disadvantage (or maybe even an advantage) while trying to seek debt and/or equity financing? Since I am a young woman and aspiring entrepreneur I thought I would get your thoughts on this matter.

Great work! I look forward to your upcoming advice and posts.
