Funding Road Map with Ruth Hedges

posted by David Wolf on Jun 30, 2009 | Comments (21) | Permalink | Trackback URL

Ruth Hedges created this system—-the first fully online business planning system alternative, for planning, benchmarking, and collaborating on a video elevator pitch for a business startup—-or even a business in a growth stage that’s looking to raise capital.

She’s appeared on ABC’s Home Show, and the Financial News Network has featured her as well in a two part series for their show American Entrepreneur.

Here are some questions that guided this interview segment:

1. Where did the idea to create funding roadmap come from?
2. Is their anything out their in the market like the Fundingroadmap?
3. What are some of the typical sources of capital for small business—-and perhaps some things to know about each of them?
4. Aside from a recessionary environment or challenging economic cycle that might be happening at a given time—-Why is it so difficult for small business people to raise capital?
5. How does your system, Fund Road Map, help business owners raise the capital they need?
6. What’s the experience of using the system like——how does it work?
7. What are some of the benefits—-beyond raising capital itself, for a business owner who gets online with your business planning system?
8. What’s on the horizon in terms of growth for funding road map——where are you today and where do you want to be with the project?
