How To Fund a Start up
This video was very informative about the start up cost of a business and venture capital. I did not know about the "phases" that were discussed in the video. I do not plan or even have a thought about ever creating a start up business or venture, but this was still an interesting video. I will show this to any of my friends who possibly may want to fund a start up.

I really enjoyed the way they set this video up- I was unaware of the many different phases there are for a start up cost of a business. I had thought about starting my own business but then became interested in another field of study- this video would have been very helpful to me and my future if I were still looking to open/start my own business once out of school.

How To Fund a Start up I hope to one day be part of a venture capital firm. It seems like the best way to invest your money once you have it. As someone who may one day have a start up, it is scary to worry about where the initial funds will come from. I was also unaware of all the steps to funding.

How To Fund a Startup
This video was cool. I spent more time actually watching the drawing then listening because some of the terms went over my head. I think this is excellent information for somebody that wants to start their own business and need extra money than what a bank loan will provide.

The phases were very explanatory. The phases showed exactly how to invest in a company in a broad way. Its interesting that most companies won't make it to phase 5and collect any profit basically. I'm not into social media so I didn't realize that twitter hasn't turned a profit until after 3 to 5 years. These phase are important to go in order so you can see your full profit at the end.

TITLE- How To Fund a Startup
I think this video portrays a great plan for the ideal business scenario, but in many cases business startups are far from ideal. It uses twitter as an example and I feel that using such examples is not so realistic. Far more business startups have little to no plan or even potential of launching into a global market. In many startups the task of funding can be far more difficult and risky than just simply progressing at whatever rate their market allows. Although I have a couple arguments this is all in all a good video especially for businesses looking to see rapid growth and public funding.

I would definitely share this link with friends and colleagues. Thank you Professor. This video is definitely informative on doing a start-up company and eventually becoming an ipo or for sale. I think putting this into fruition is a lot more difficult on paper then actually putting into action. The chances a company will make it between 5-10 years is very difficult to overcome. I think this information could be very vital for someone looking to do a start up business.

This woman's videos are always interesting and keep my attention. I really like how the video explains a topic through visuals. I didn't know about the different phases to start up of a business. I plan on opening my own business one day so this was something that I will keep in mind.

I love the idea of using “kickstarter” methods for seed funding. These methods are great as they allow innovators to effectively gauge ideas and product attractiveness. Projects, normally, come to fruition if they meet certain customer demand via customer donations. This means, ultimately, there is less risk associated with kickstarters. If the product proves undesirable it never leaves the ground…individuals, therefore, save time and money which would have been spent on bad investments.

Starting up a business can cost a lot of money for someone. You have to be prepared to wait, possibly years, until you actually make a decent amount of money. I would share this video to anyone I know trying to start a business, because I feel if you do not follow and understand these phases, then your business is going to fail no matter what.

When it comes to starting up a business it is important to ask for money at the right time. There are five phases to go through when starting up a business. The phases consist of funding, expansion, and IPO or sale. It was interesting to learn that VCs enjoy 700% return on their investment in companies which go public. This is a very informative video for those who are interested in starting up a company.

I had no clue how much work goes into opening your own business. You have to have a lot of funding in order start a business. Whether or not your business is successful or not depends on if the investors will keep investing in your company. According to this video, funding a startup consists of five phases. There is no guarantee if your company will be a success or failure. Opening your own business can be a dangerous thing, or it could work out for you. However, most new businesses don't make it.
