Don’t let your dream of starting a business come to an end because of a bad pitch (deck)!

In the world of startups getting a business off the ground is not easy. There is so much work that goes into developing the plans, product, testing, etc. etc., yet in 60 seconds or less, that dream can come to an end.
Why, because their investor pitch didn’t go so well. This may have been the result of the entrepreneur themselves…or in many cases, their pitch deck didn’t communicate and the brilliance of their idea got lost in the sea of pages, numbers, and rambling that caused the potential investor to say to themselves, next!
At the Café, Jasmine Foroutan, CEO of Pitch Genius joins me to offer up some advice on what a great and effective pitch deck should include.

I was inspired by a movie I recently watched called The Ultimate Gift. It’s based on a book written by Jim Stovall. Without giving the premise away, there are 12 gifts discussed in the movie that I believe are gifts we have all given, received, or wish we had. Please listen in as I believe you will find this conversation relevant given the times we are living in. Hopefully, in the end, you will find this is my gift to you!

As a business owner, you dream of cashing out one day. The big score! But what is your company really worth? Maybe not as much you believe it is? What is the right exit strategy for you? Sell the company? Be acquired? Merge? Or, as another thought, sell it to the people that helped grow your business.
At the Café, I have Chris Kramer, Managing Director of Strategic Equity Group to discuss ESOP’s (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) as an exit strategy.

Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights, oh my!

There are many reasons to protect your brand’s trademark. It seems obvious, yet so many businesses find themselves letting their trademark lapse or allowing it to be modified or misused. This causes market confusion or, worse, allows your competitors to take it over potentially.
Also, if you own a business or are conducting the marketing for that business, and you use graphics or pictures from the internet, then publish them in presentation, social media, etc., you are putting your business in jeopardy.
That’s crazy, you say? Well, you’re crazy…if you are using the copyrighted materials, the IP, of another company or person. Why, because you are committing a crime and can be fined thousands of dollars. And, if you were sued, that money comes right from your bottom line and potential could bankrupt your business.
Today at the Café I’m excited to have Sharon Adams, Founder & President of Adams Law Offices, on our show to discuss the importance of protecting your IP and your business.
