Just for transparency's sake, here is our underlying motivation as to why we host LivePitch events:
At FundingUniverse, we are bootstrapping entrepreneurs who seem too young to be credible, too poor to drive anything besides crappy Hondas, and reasonably experienced entrepreneurs who *get* the core principles of what it takes to make a business WORK, because this is what we do, all day long.
Because we come from this perspective, we offer 5 core services to entrepreneurs and investors, in order to be THE place to turn to if you are an entrepreneur looking for startup capital on any level:
1. A "Match.com" website for entrepreneurs and angel investors (Check it out at www.fundinguniverse.com)
2. Entrepreneur education via FundingUniversity
3. Consulting services to help entrepreneurs prepare their pitch/business plan/financials
4. SpeedPitch and LivePitch events to help stir up the entrepreneurial community
5. Assistance securing alternative funding sources such as unsecured line of credit, credit repair, economic development/micro loan funds, and more.
We are not a non-profit organization (and definitely not a "not-quite-for-profit" organization). We are a for-profit business.
It's important to understand that, because it means that we do not stay in business if we don't meet your needs. And trust me, we are determined to stay in business in order to continue providing specific help to entrepreneurs, so PLEASE help us to stay grounded in what you need by participating in the LivePitch events and letting us know what you think.
