20 ways to fund your startup
In the mood for something different? Here's an interview with 2 experts in angel investing and venture capital: Dave Berkus and Sid Mohasseb. Dave's been on the show several times, remember, he has the experience of 66 startup investments, many of them through The Tech Coast Angels. Sid is the founder behind Venture Farm; he's also been on the podcast and scored #1 on my Popularity Index several months ago.

We discuss Dave's list of 20 ways to get your business funded then we digress to discuss the conclusions of a study by Willamette University's Rob Wiltbank: Angels in Groups. Dave, of course, is very well qualified to comment; he contributed data on all his angel investments to Wiltbank. Some of the findings will surprise you.
