Introduction Compact

This is a new development that merit more attention in the ever accelerating startup investing arena. The company CEO is Guy Kawasaki, one cool guy who is a Forbes columnist and Apple/Mac evangelist. Rich Karlgaard,,who co-founded Garage.com, is the publisher of Forbes magzine. Garage.com just recently received 12 million venture funding from Etrade and a number of VCs.

One thing you need to keep in mind is that you need to be a high net-worth investor, which means have a minimum 1M verifiable asset. As a qualified invester, the average investment into startup is around 50K to 100K per deal.

=======================================
Here is an excerpt from it's website: garage.com

Garage.com helps entrepreneurs and investors build great businesses.

For Entrepreneurs:

Assistance in obtaining seed level financing is our #1 objective. We compress the entrepreneur's "time-to-money" via mentoring and a high-quality investor network, thus allowing the entrepreneur to focus more time building his or her business.

We also provide member entrepreneurs with expert advice, research and reference materials, and topical Forums to help them launch and grow their startup.

For Investors:

We identify and provide pre-screened, high-quality investment opportunities that match the investor's identified interests. These opportunities are presented in a uniform format that helps investors evaluate companies quickly and easily.

Additionally, members have access to a broad community of investors focused on the cutting edge of high technology, enabling them to work together as they identify and qualify investment opportunities.
===============================================

Let's discuss this company and its new approach toward creating a better, faster, and viable way for startups and investors to interact and to make business happen.
