ZBIZ.TV is dedicated to broadcasting weekly interviews with entrepreneurs from early stage companies. Most of the companies we interview have received at least one angel round of financing and are less than one year old. We seek to elicit from the entrepreneur an “oral executive summary” of his or her company: the problems they are seeking to solve, the markets they seek to serve, the competitors they will be facing as well as an overview of their financial picture. We ask about the funding they’ve received thus far, their overhead and expenses and their revenues. We ask about when they anticipate reaching profitability and what their exit strategy will be. We focus on the company and the management team that runs it, not just the product. We have found that most entrepreneurs are quite willing and open to “raise the kimono” and tell us about their financial picture, but that’s not always the case. We appreciate when they do share that information, but don’t force them to divulge anything they would prefer to keep private. We believe this site will be of interest not only to other entrepreneurs, but to investors of all stripes: angel investors, private investment firms and venture capitalists. It’s likely you may find an investment opportunity in one of these companies that somehow may have passed you by.
