1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?
I was surprised to see how quickly and dramatically the sources of capital are changing. I didn’t not know that commercial banks are decreasing so much while venture capital firms are growing rapidly since the economic recession.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
I started to get a little confused when the author was talking about the different types of stock within equity financing. That’s something I know very little about but that I recognize is very important when I will be looking to invest.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
I would ask what they personally think is the best source of capital for a start-up venture. I would also ask him what is the biggest deciding factor for VC firms when they are considering investing. If I ever have to present an idea to a VC firm I would be sure to focus on that.
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
This chapter was pretty straight forward without many opinions or abstract ideas. There wasn’t anything to disagree on, especially since a lot of the information was new to me.
