Week 8 Reading Reflection: I hate reading

1)    What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations? 

The funding chart was very interesting and stood out to me because of the description and financing options.

2)    Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.

The venture capitalist development part was more confusing then it needed to be. The amount of deals and money it raised could have used more explanation.

3)    If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?

What was the start of crowdsourcing? When was it first used and “invented”?

What way is the most common way to screen for Venture Capitalists?

4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?

I think that myth 2 is actually true they obviously want a return on their investment. They don’t want insane amounts on everything.
