Im often asked: what is the best way to finance a new business venture. This question is usually followed by “So, do you ever invest in new business ventures?”
The answers, respectively, are: 1. there is no “best” way to fund a new business; and 2. I do invest in new business ventures, but darn it I cant today because I left my checkbook in my other suit.
