What Educators are saying...
“As an entrepreneur turned educator I only wish I had access to such an insightful book when I started my first business. The CCA people have taken the mystery out of raising capital and how capital deals are structured. Though a step by step process the entrepreneur can now look at the many options available to raise capital and scale their business. The book is a must read for serious entrepreneurs who want to grow.”
Leonard Gingerella, Clinical Professor, Entrepreneurial Studies
Loyola University-Chicago
"This book is a complete primer that is straightforward, accurate, and practical. It simplifies the legal and financial complexities of the funding process in direct language, and is focused on getting the entrepreneur to do what he/she does best 'take action.'"
Raman Chadha, Executive Director, Coleman Entrepreneurship Center DePaul University
"It's a clear explanation of the process for raising early-stage capital with valuable warnings about the pitfalls."
Robert F. Anderson, Director of Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago
