Digg it UP - Bidders Beware: Scams Commonly Used on Internet Auctions
Venture Capital, is it right for you? First a short definition of venture capital. Venture capital is often viewed by the entrepreneur as a high interest loan. This isn't really the case. Venture capital is just money made available to you for starting your business, in exchange for ownership in the company. In most cases the VC firm will also offer you management advice and guidance. It is also sometimes referred to as "angel financing" a term you'll find laughable if you do business with the wrong firm.

In a small midwestern town, the local high school of 878 students recently produced its first state championship basketball team in over 90 years. The community has had an organized city basketball league for its younger boys for many years. But, this league, designed to spot talent early and then feed the high school basketball program, did nothing to produce the state title. There is also an open gym at the high school every Tuesday and Thursday night to encourage the young men in the community to play basketball. But like the city league, this open gym contributed nothing to the team in its championship bid.A local banker, a former college all-star, has volunteered his services for one dollar a year to assist the high school's coaching staff. The boy’s varsity basketball program also has an able assistant coach.
