ACCESS TO CAPITAL, ACCESS TO CAPITAL, ACCESS TO CAPITAL! How do we get this economy bumpin again? Access to capital for start ups, small businesses, growing business that can put capital to work YESTERDAY. This isn't the old days, you can't walk into the bank with a good idea and 2 paychecks, negotiate terms directly and build a solution for financing that works for you. Only people in certain statuses are even legally allowed to invest in some businesses, banks are constricted by 4+ regulators depending on their business lines, wealthy people know well how hard it is to start and grow a business, and how regulatory barriers to entry increase the cost, in turn to get a wealthy person to invest in your good idea, you need to be in a business that either has government favors built in and easy access to those favors (an uncle that sits on a board with a councilmember) or that has little regulations (software as a service, mobile apps, low productivity - boom or bust type ideas), not to mention you gotta find an court wealthy people to find one that likes your idea. How we can fix this and more will be discussed on Episode 4
