In May we spoke with Kerry Rupp about successful funding strategies. Hypothetically, now that your business has money, NOW WHAT?

Money is a Means to an End. It's Time To Master the Tao of Talent

What are you going to spend it on? TALENT!

- Building or refining your product? Talent.

- Expanding your marketing? Talent. 

- Building your team? Talent. 

Your Employees are a form of talent. Your Investors are a form of Talent. Your Advisors and Vendors are forms of Talent. Your Customers are a form of Talent. Your Community is a form of Talent. It appears that Éverything, in some shape or form, comes down to Talent!
