Karen Rands, Founder of the Compassionate Capitalist Movement, uses this episode to explain the national imperative to break down the information and investment barrier between entrepreneurs and investors. With the abundance of accelerators and incubators, 'entrepreneur programs' at universities, and co-working spaces with entrepreneur education programs, becoming an entrepreneur has never been easier. Yet, even with a multitude of ways to reach investors and attact capital, finding funding is as difficult as ever.
Karen asserts that "Compassionate Capitalism" as a mindset and an individual goal is the best method to change the 'access to capital' abyss that so many companies find themselves stuck in. Compassionate Capitalism is also one of the best ways to rebuild an investment portfolio that suffered losses in real estate and stock investment during the recession and continuing in the volatility of the current stock market.
Karen is the best selling author of Inside Secrets to Angel Investing, considred the number 1 primer for investor wanting to understand the why, what, when, and how of investing in private companies from seed stage to emerging growth stage.
