Are you ready to grow your venture or raise money? We have another Taste of the Tribe on Monday.
Next month our Holiday party & Charity Auction features several treats for entrepreneurs.
- Lore Levin, the Queen of North Texas Investors, presents “Gotcha! CEOs and Managers Just Like You Are Going To Jail Every Day.” What you don’t know truly CAN hurt you and your business.
- How much would you pay for a 3 hour working session with an actual investor? $1,000? $250? How about $10? That’s the current price at our online auction for a Venture Consultation with Lore Levin.
- Is money an issue for paying for ongoing consulting? We’re still taking applications for Tribe Blue scholarships. Another option – we’re auctioning an entire year of the Tribe. It’s now just $25!
We’re just starting to add charity auction items to our online auction and door prizes. What about you? Do you have a consulting service or product to share with the community, not just here in DFW … but worldwide? If so, let us know.

TRIBE ALERT: Online media help
One of our members is developing an online media venture, including an Internet radio service. We seek help with a business model and technology. Please reply if you can help or can refer us to someone who can.
TRIBE POWWOW: You don’t have to be a lone wolf
Last month’s Entrepreneurs meeting showcased three new social network and media ventures. They had one thing in common. Relationships are a critical business asset, whether used to find new contacts, share address books, or provide recommendations. That’s a core part of the Tribe Blue philosophy.
It’s easy to be isolated as the big dog on top or lone wolf entrepreneur. Lifeline relationships are critical to both your business and personal success. Independent confidantes who don’t have a stake in your business provide guidance, balance, and perspective that you can trust. .
When you’re in the Tribe, you’re a part of a larger community. Tribe leaders and mentors directly coach and work with you. Fellow Tribe members act as colleagues for additional support and advice. Plus we give you access to the wider Blue audience of thousands of executives for specialized outreach.
You are never alone with the Tribe. Get a Taste of the Tribe, learn more, or apply now.
VENTURE NEWS & TIPS: Get your free term sheets here!
There is an imbalance between entrepreneurs with no money and investors with millions or even billions of dollars. It’s resulted in agreements with complex terms that give investors great power in the relationship and generate huge legal fees that average $50,000 per funding round.
TheFunded offer a term sheet written to simplify agreements, slash fees, and protect founders.
Note that we are not attorneys and are not providing legal advice. This document should be used with caution and in consultation with your own legal counsel.
TheFunded Found Institute – Plain Preferred Term Sheet. From Adeo Ressi, founder of TheFunded. Eliminates aggressive investor terms, such as participation with preferred stock, a 1x liquidation preference, and single trigger vesting acceleration on acquisition.
