| bridge loans for business: The State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) Marcus Powell, 2013 The SSBCI provides funding to states, territories, and eligible municipalities to expand existing or to create new state small business investment programs, including state capital access programs, collateral support programs, loan participation programs, loan guarantee programs, and venture capital programs. This book examines the SSBCI and its implementation, including Treasury's response to initial program audits conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office and Treasury's Office of Inspector General. These audits suggested that SSBCI participants were generally complying with the statute's requirements, but that some compliance problems existed, in that, the Treasury's oversight of the program could be improved; and performance measures were needed to assess the program's efficacy. |

| bridge loans for business: Intentional Integrity Robert Chesnut, 2020-07-28 Silicon Valley expert Robert Chesnut shows that companies that do not think seriously about a crucial element of corporate culture—integrity—are destined to fail. “Show of hands—who in this group has integrity?” It’s with this direct and often uncomfortable question that Robert Chesnut, General Counsel of Airbnb, begins every presentation to new employees. Defining integrity is difficult. Once understood as “telling the truth and keeping your word,” it was about following not just the letter but the spirit of the law. But in a moment when workplaces are becoming more diverse, global, and connected, silence about integrity creates ambiguities about right and wrong that make everyone uncertain, opening the door for the minority of people to rationalize selfish behavior. Trust in most traditional institutions is down—government, religious organizations, and higher education—and there’s a dark cloud hovering over technology. But this is precisely where companies come in; as peoples’ faith in establishments deteriorates, they’re turning to their employer for stability. In Intentional Integrity, Chesnut offers a six-step process for leaders to foster and manage a culture of integrity at work. He explains the rationale and legal context for the ethics and practices, and presents scenarios to illuminate the nuances of thinking deeply and objectively about workplace culture. We will always need governments to manage defense, infrastructure, and basic societal functions. But, Chesnut argues, the private sector has the responsibility to use sensitivity and flexibility to make broader progress—if they act with integrity. Rob is an insider who's combined doing good with doing business well in two iconic Silicon Valley companies. His book contains smart, practical advice for anyone looking to do good and do well.” —Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and author of Blitzscaling |

| bridge loans for business: Why Startups Fail Tom Eisenmann, 2021-03-30 If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success. |

| bridge loans for business: The Business of Bioscience Craig D. Shimasaki, 2009-09-18 My journey into this fascinating field of biotechnology started about 26 years ago at a small biotechnology company in South San Francisco called Genentech. I was very fortunate to work for the company that begat the biotech industry during its formative years. This experience established a solid foundation from which I could grow in both the science and business of biotechnology. After my fourth year of working on Oyster Point Boulevard, a close friend and colleague left Genentech to join a start-up biotechnology company. Later, he approached me to leave and join him in of all places – Oklahoma. He persisted for at least a year before I seriously considered his proposal. After listening to their plans, the opportunity suddenly became more and more intriguing. Finally, I took the plunge and joined this ent- preneurial team in cofounding and growing a start-up biotechnology company. Making that fateful decision to leave the security of a larger company was extremely difficult, but it turned out to be the beginning of an entrepreneurial career that forever changed how I viewed the biotechnology industry. Since that time, I have been fortunate to have cofounded two other biotechnology com- nies and even participated in taking one of them public. During my career in these start-ups, I held a variety of positions, from directing the science, operations, regulatory, and marketing components, to subsequently becoming CEO. |

| bridge loans for business: Business Capital 101 Roberta A. Pellant, Tony Drexel-Smith, 2021-04-26 The purpose of this book is to define the process and protocols of the TASASS™ score. It also serves as the textbook for the USCGA™ TASASS™ certification course. It was written as a manual for students, entrepreneurs, finance professionals, advisors, and consultants. It defines the types of capital available and documentation requirements to achieve “success” in the capital marketplace. Success is defined as a trifecta of: 1) the enterprise acquiring capital; 2) the business becoming successful and 3) the capital source(s) receiving a positive outcome. Business Capital 101 provides clarity in an otherwise complicated environment of gaining access to capital for qualified enterprises. Our mission is to provide a compliant, professional, time-sensitive, cost-conscious, and realistic approach to the business finance process. We accomplish this mission by the implementation of a due diligence process known as the TASASS™ score. The TASASS™ score was developed as a result of a study of more than 300 enterprises engaged by me since 2008 wherein, I was able to determine the more than 300 common attributes amongst successful and failed ventures. The TASASS™ score is a combination of a Transaction Analysis™ (TA), a Situation Analysis™ (SA) implemented in a Software (S) that results in a Score (S). The TASASS™ score is a standardized objective due diligence process that serves capital markets during the enterprise vetting phase of capitalization. The software was created based on a 10-year study of 300 applicants. The goal of the proprietary Software as a Service (SaaS) is to identify opportunities that achieve a TASASS™ score in excess of 92.5%, known as “TASASS Prime™.” TASASS™ is an acronym for: Transaction Analysis Situation Analysis Scoring Software™. The TASASS™ score was developed by Tony Drexel Smith through the financial and human capital resources of: TASASS, Inc, The Association of Blue Moon Advisors, Blue Moon Advisors, Inc., Blue Moon Consortium, Inc., US Capital Global, SUMATICI, Inc., and TD Smith & Associates. Enterprises that have raised capital successfully have the following commonalities: they sought the right type of capital for their stage of development and ability to repay; they created documentation that speaks to the correct capital; and they earned a minimum of 925 out of the 1,000 points possible in our TASASS™ score.

| bridge loans for business: Katrina's Imprint Keith Wailoo, Karen M. O'Neill, Jeffrey Dowd, Roland Anglin, 2010-06-23 Katrina's Imprint highlights the power of this sentinel American event and its continuing reverberations in contemporary politics, culture, and public policy. Published on the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the multidisciplinary volume reflects on how history, location, access to transportation, health care, and social position feed resilience, recovery, and prospects for the future of New Orleans and the Gulf region. Essays examine the intersecting vulnerabilities that gave rise to the disaster, explore the cultural and psychic legacies of the storm, reveal how the process of rebuilding and starting over replicates past vulnerabilities, and analyze Katrina's imprint alongside American's myths of self-sufficiency. A case study of new weaknesses that have emerged in our era, this book offers an argument for why we cannot wait for the next disaster before we apply the lessons that should be learned from Katrina. |
