  • What keeps a 750,000 accredited investors from becoming angel investors?
    Part of the Legacy Compassionate Capitalist Podcast Series.
    According to the 2013 US Census, there were an estimated 1,150,000 households that earn over $350,000 a year.  There are even some reports today that estimate there are as many as 4 Million employees earning over $300,000.  Either way you slice it, it is a bunch that have the discretionary income but choose not to put their investment capital to work creating jobs and bringing innovation to market.  They are capitalists that buy and sell, but don't invest with a purpose. 
    There is an estimated 250,000 active angel investors involved in structured groups and actively considering investment in early stage companies as a means to create wealth in their diversified portfolio. And if we assume there are at least 150,000 of the wealthiest that have too much money to be angel investors...they don't invest directly into companies, they invest in the funds that fund the companies; what keeps the remaining 750,000 to 4 Million from becoming angel investors?
    This podcast explores the impact and potential of the 2012 JOBS Act, the real road block for the ultra wealthy from getting involved as Angel Investors and what can be done to shift their attention and dollars from traditional stock market investments to private stock investments.
    If you are an investor that is tired of the volatility and unpredictability of the stock market, frustrated with the little influence you have on management or operation of that public company, and want to see your dollars have great impact with greater return, then learning how to invest in private companies, purchasing shares in a company before it goes public, while the valuation is still low, could be the wealth creation strategy for you.   Tune in to learn how to join the world of compassionate capitalism.

  • So Why Can't this Business Get Funded? | Compassionate Capitalist Podcast
    Spring is in the air...and that means spring cleaning for many of us.   On this Compassionate Capitalist segment, Karen Rands shares some of the insight gained when she uncovered the treasure trove of great business opportunities that never got funded... or at least never got enough money to really get to market.   In cleaning out her file cabinets, she discovered this tucked away drawer of business plans... the ones she kept because they "had something", and she felt a follow up would be needed some day.   That day has come.
    There is an old saying... if you are going through a mine field, follow in the foot steps of the one that got across safely.  Well you can also learn to not go in the footsteps of the one that didn't make it too.
    If you are an entrepreneur who is passionate about your opportunity, willing to do whatever it takes, then this will be a good show for you to tune in to listen to so you can learn from those that died on the battle field before you.   Names will be changed to protect the innocent and the embarrassed, but the stories of triumph and tragedy will be real.

  • CrowdFunding - getting on that band wagon | Compassionate Capitalist Podcast
    Part of the Legacy Series of the Compassionate Capitalist Podcast Series :
    Crowd funding here, Crowd funding there, Crowd funding seems to be everywhere.   But what does it mean today and what does will it mean to the entreprenuers out there trying to raise capital? 
    The celebratory feeling Entrepreneurs had when the Jobs Act passed in 2012 has turned to one of a jilted bride left at the alter.  All the promise and commitment of a great future, but left in the cold to wonder what could have been. 
    The SEC is the regulatory body for all investment transactions.  They have valid concerns that if they move to quickly and approve regulations without thinking through the ripple effects they could lead to another economic collapse like the housing bubble, or the dot.com bubble, or the S&L bail out... each of which was allowed to happen by a regulatory changed voted in by congress but not managed properly by the SEC.
    Tune in to get an update from the Compassionate Capitalist, Karen Rands, as she tries to cut through the noise to give you clarity on what you can be doing now to position yourself for success in these uncertain times, and what you can likely expect relative to crowdfunding regulation this year.

    Black carbon plays a much bigger role in global warming than many scientists previously thought. Black Carbon is produced as a by product from the CO2 that is emitted when any thing is burned.
