'I’m a strong believer that investors invest in people, before they invest in a business plan, or an idea. But I continue to learn that there are a host of other factors, maybe not even related to you or your business, that could keep you from getting the funding that you need. You may not have control over many of these, but it helps to know, for planning purposes, what is really happening.

He had everything set up for success – 25k people signed up to be notified about the launch, forthcoming Techcrunch and AllThingsD articles, a great social media plan, etc etc but his initial bang was quieter than anticipated, they didn’t get top of the app store charts and then new user sign ups trended down over the next few days not up.

'Filing for a ‘Doing Business As’ name is usually nowhere near the top of a small business owner’s to-do list. It costs money, requires you to fill out paperwork and, depending on where you do business, might mean running an announcement in a local paper for a few weeks.
