investors. Of course, I am saying that being completely blind, not knowing how large your forecasted working capital requirements are, and if I did, I might change my tune.
Some states have economic development funds where they will invest in your company. I assume you have looked into that along with the other stuff?
Do you have a deck prepared? If so, I am always happy to help out a fellow coug and I can take a quick look at it and give you some feedback. If you actually get a chance to get in front of money, you want to make sure you are ready, because if you are not, you probably won't get a second chance.
