Part 1: Answer the following questions
1. Many successful entrepreneurs and private investors say it is just as bad to start out with too much money, as it is too little. Why is this so? Give some examples.

5. In selecting outside investors, a board, consultants and the like, what are the most important criteria, and why?
Part 2: Reflective paper
NO LONGER THAN 4 PAGES
It can be more difficult to write a succinct 4-page paper than a longer paper. So, outline, work and rework your paper before submitting it to the maximum length. Be sure to edit your paper before submitting as poor grammar and syntax detract from the value of the paper. You should use headings to clearly label the discrete parts of the paper. Since this is in lieu of an exam I am expecting you to put into this paper a similar amount of time you would have spent studying and taking the exam.
In this paper, you will be looking back and focusing on what you have learned overall and what you are taking away from this course. This could include things you have learned from the text, from class, our guest speakers, your project, outside readings, as well as fellow students. Was there an "AHA" moment or something that you heard/read that really resonated with you? You should also discuss how you anticipate using the learning's you gained about entrepreneurship and specifically about creating a new venture in the future. This might include future jobs, graduate school, or any other setting where you feel the learning applies.
Part 3
Bonus: How have you used the Fish Philosophy in your daily life? Give an example or 2
Also, attached is a sample paper ( attached as "sample paper") a friend of mine completed, you can use it as an aid to asnwering these questions. Please do not plagerize at all.
Additionally, for Part-2: I started a new venture for this class which was an online radio station, I have attached a file under the name of "start up" which gives you a brief description which you could also talk about in Part- 2.
