Rezensionen

First there was "Dating for Dummies," then "Indoor Grilling forDummies " and now ... "Raising Capital for Dummies."
The newest how-to book for novices from Wiley Publishing Inc., thepublishers of the popular "Dummies" series, comes at what could bea wickedly good time. With venture capitalists retrenching andso-called angel investors burned by the dot-com meltdown,fund-raising has become a tough task for venture capitalists.
"There's a lot of places to look for money that just doesn't occurto people," said Joseph Bartlett, co-author of the "Raising Capitalfor Dummies " book.
Offering advice from finding government resources to tappingfriends and family members for cash without causing feuds, theDummies guide walks business execs from the "embryo to the IPO"stages of a company's cash needs, says Mr. Bartlett.
If all else fails and a fund-raising effort comes up short, there'sanother guide that might be worth checking out: "Job Hunting forDummies. (The Wall Street Journal, September 6, 2002)
