Inc 500 No Venture CapitalPart 6 of CEOs Dinner

Another great stat from last Thursday night’s dinner, this again from the same angel investor. He revealed something that I was shocked by!

The Inc 500 is a list that is published every year of the 500 fastest growing small businesses in the country (they do an Inc 5000) as well.

This investor revealed that over 85% of the companies on this list have never taken money from an outside investor! 85%!

So, think again if you want to raise money, is it really a good idea?
