New! Finance E-Book - Five Ways to Fund Your Venture
I am excited to launch my first e-book, Five Ways to Fund Your Venture & Align Your Business To Your Goals. This e-book came out of my learnings while I was an MBA student at UVA Darden. As an entrepreneur, being part of an MBA program that is so lively and experiential, during almost every class I had lightbulb moment upon lightbulb moment with realizations on things I coulda, shoulda, woulda done differently in my past pursuits, things I did really well without even knowing what I was doing, as well as things I can apply in the future.
I feel so privileged and fortunate to have been able to attend Darden (thank you, Batten Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation!), and I know that an MBA is not in the cards for everyone for many reasons. So, one of my goals is to distill some information in a way that is helpful to entrepreneurs, without any jargon or pretense.
I welcome any feedback on this first installment, and would love to connect!
