- Many other sources of funding exist. It really depends
- on how much money you need, where you are in the development cycle, etc...
- I wouldn't go with a WSJ ad, but I guess at the ~$450
- quoted before, it might be worth it.
- If you have an accountant, a banker, and/or a lawyer I would
- talk with them. Often they will have contacts with people/companies/
- investors that might be interested. If not, they often know someone
- who knows someone etc...
- The other thing to do would be to check the library for the
- list to venture capital firms, find the ones that specialize
- in your area and business size etc... Then send them a copy of your
- business plan or contact them about it before hand. If you can
- find a contact at one of these firms beforehand it will greatly increase
- your chances of having more than the Exec. Summary read.

- Also, many states have technology and business loan programs
- available - check with your local Small Business Development Center.
