Over the last five years approximately 600,000 entrepreneurs pitched first tier venture capital firms in North America and about 15,000 received funding. Your chances of getting funded are 2.5%. This is a fact. Many of those that were funded became quite wealthy and many more failed. Venture capital firms are looking for home runs not base hits.To begin, lets say youre having difficulties raising capital for one of a multitude of reasons. You lack an experienced management team with a track record of prior success, your product is still in development, the service youve created hasnt been market tested and you still havent refined the sales process.

I waited around Tuesday evening to find out what the next dead-in-the-water penny stock company they were being paid to hock was. They stood me up. And continue to. Some penny stock newsletters dont seem to care about their subscribers. Perhaps those at pennypic.com graduated from the Gordon Gekko - Greed is good School of Business? Still, if theres one thing online investing newsletters like pennypic.com (and others) do, its illustrate the need for both ethical and honest research and the need for penny stock investors to be aware of what theyre actually investing in. Its tough for companies like pennypic.com to claim they offer decent research when the fine print tells you that they are often compensated for issuing penny stock profiles; more often than not, in stock...more
