Week 8 Reading Reflection

1.     I found it extremely interesting to learn that past a certain amount of capital there are disclosure and information requirements. When payments get close to 1 million there is little or no requirement, but at 5 million there is.

2.     The concept of angel investors is slightly confusing.

3.     If I could ask two questions of the author it would be one: If you were attempting to grow a business what type of investor would you look for. The second questions would be: If you had five million dollars to invest what would you invest it in?

4.     The majority of this chapter was definitions so no I did not find anything that I disagree with.  

Half-Way Reflection

1.     The course has required a significant amount of time management and planning. Another skill required to succeed in this class is the willingness to try new things and execute on extremely obscure tasks.

2.     I do not think I have developed any sort of tenacious attitude from this class or any sort of tenacious skills, but I do believe this class has forced me to do things slightly out of my comfort zone. During the stages of customer interviews I wanted nothing to do with the assignment, but pulled through and received several random interviews.

3.     The three tips I would suggest for upcoming students in this class is to work on assignments ahead of time, accept the fact that sometimes you will have to do obscure tasks, and lastly to constantly check your canvas page for assignments. In the perspective of developing a tenacious attitude the tip I would suggest is to just go out and do it regardless of your feelings about the assignment.
