		<description><![CDATA[One basic question every VC asks is, Why is this situation special? Every investor knows that in the business world, big businesses “beat up” little businesses.

		<description><![CDATA[From an investor’s viewpoint, a company is little more than the people who work for it. Companies succeed because the  people make the company succeed. A company usually fails because the people fail. An entrepreneur alone cannot carry a company very far; there must be a group of people dedicated to the success of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many scientific studies of entrepreneurs have been conducted by social scientists. Most of this work has been reported in the trade press. Despite their problems, these studies have produced some very interesting results that we believe make sense when coupled with our experiences. The characteristics that they have discovered are the ones that we believe [...]]]></description>

In analyzing management, the investor has one basic objective—to determine whether the management team is entrepreneurial enough to execute the business plan profitably. There are virtually hundreds of thousands of small- and medium-sized businesses [...]]]></description>

For example, specify whether it is a partnership, a subchapter S company, a limited liability company, or a corporate entity. Also, it’s a good idea is to have the name, address, and telephone number of the business. It is also helpful to [...]]]></description>
