FundingUniverse.com unveils funding resource guide

The FundingUniverse.com family of Web sites has unveiled its newest tool for the entrepreneur’s toolbox—an online resource guide to attracting investors.

“We know that presenting a business proposal to potential investors can be a daunting task,” said FundingUniverse.com’s Director of Communications, Brooke Mildenhall. “That’s why we’ve compiled this compact how-to guide to provide a focus that entrepreneurs can use from day one.”

The new guide to attracting start-up funding includes several resources, including

— How to write an impressive business plan

— How to build a business that will inspire an angel investor’s confidence

— How to brand your new company

— How to pitch to investors

“Entrepreneurs know that attracting interested investors can be a challenge,” said Brock Blake, CEO of FundingUniverse.com. “Angel investors feel that it’s just as difficult to find an appealing investment opportunity. We created this resource guide in an effort to bridge the gap between the two. Entrepreneurs can see what investors are looking for and incorporate it into their business proposals.”

The new resources can be found on any of the 51 FundingUniverse.com state-specific sites (ex. FundingNewYork.com or Funding-Texas.com) on the Resources page.
