ASK CAP
?CAP, my artificial intelligence (AI) avatar is available on my website 24/7/365 to answer your questions for free on matters related to funding.
?I developed CAP with a license from Knowledge Avatars to answer frequent questions about funding to save myself time to answer the harder questions.
?I asked CAP, “What is the advantage to a small business in crafting offers to investor candidates that offer more than just a return on investment?”
CAP responded:
“Crafting offers to investor candidates that extend beyond mere return on investment can provide several advantages to a small business:
1. Attracting Strategic Partners: By offering additional incentives, such as board positions or decision-making influence, businesses can attract investors who bring valuable expertise, networks, and industry knowledge, which can be crucial for growth. 2. Building Long-term Relationships: Offers that include elements like equity participation or profit-sharing can foster long-term partnerships, ensuring sustained interest and commitment from investors.
3. Enhanced Reputation and Credibility: Providing more comprehensive offers can enhance the business's reputation, demonstrating a forward-thinking and inclusive approach, which can attract a broader range of investors and stakeholders.
4. Competitive Edge: In a competitive financing environment, unique and attractive offers can differentiate a small business, making it more appealing than others who only offer traditional returns.
These advantages can significantly aid a small business in securing not just capital, but value-added resources that contribute to its long-term success.
FUNDING HAPPENINGS
The California Housing & Community Development Conference will be held on December 3 & 4 in Los Angeles. The event will focus on ‘workforce housing’ and the ‘missing middle’ of the housing market. “As cities across California, from Los Angeles to smaller communities, face a pressing need for affordable, accessible homes, new financing structures are stepping in to make a difference. In this session, we’ll dive into how next-generation Public-Private Partnerships are filling the "missing middle"—housing options for residents who earn too much to qualify for traditional affordable housing but not enough for high-cost homes.” General audience fees are $1,395. Governments and non-profit fees are $595.
?FUNDING POINT – FUTURE OF FUNDING #10 – UNCERTAINTY
Next Tuesday, at my Successful Funding show, I will have Dr. Tom Frey, who is a world-class futurist, as my guest. We will be talking about the future of funding. Tom has a rare ability to see today’s trends 10 to 25 years into the future and see where these trends converge and can have a major impact on individuals, businesses, and governments.
?The capital markets are currently uncertain – unable to predict the future with any confidence.
?I anticipate that this level of uncertainty will rise and continue at a higher level for several years.
?Everyone is familiar with a market correction where the excitement in the market drives prices beyond the underlying values of the businesses they represent. During a correction, prices fall toward a level of normalization with real values. Wall Street stocks are currently overpriced and a market correction will occur.
?There are several other factors that will contribute to short-term uncertainty:
·?????? Business market segment corrections
·?????? Transfer of wealth from Boomers to younger generations
·?????? Major advances in technology shifting competitive advantages
·?????? Trump administration to improve government efficiency (DOGE)
·?????? Trump administration commits to export non-citizens
·?????? Stratification between the wealthy and the non-wealthy
·?????? Continuing culture adjustments caused by COVID

·?????? Growing emphasis on social impact over ROI as an investment motivator
·?????? Growing share of capital markets by non-wealthy individuals and businesses
·?????? Growing cannibalization of capital markets by cryptocurrencies unsupported by assets
?The long, and probably still incomplete, list of market variables makes forecasting future investments highly speculative.
?Over the past nine days, I have identified several possible changes to the capital industry. Some of these changes will improve the ability to forecast the outcomes of future investments, but some may contribute to more variability in the markets.
?I anticipate that current government programs that incentivize investments in Wall Street stocks will require major changes like those that led to the JOBS Act of 2016. Instead of forcing investors to choose between a shrinking number of overpriced investment choices, the government programs will need to align with programs that better serve all citizens equitably. These changes will take time and will contribute to market volatility.
BELIZE REAL ESTATE & LIFESTYLES SHOW
NEXT WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, Boris Mannsfeld and I will host the inaugural Belize Real Estate & Life Styles show at 8 am Mountain Time / 10 am Eastern Time (this show is rescheduled from a few weeks ago). The program will provide insight into doing business and living in Belize.
You may view the show live or watch it later as a recording at:
SUCCESSFUL FUNDING SHOW
NEXT TUESDAY, Thomas Frey CSP will be my guest on the Successful Funding show at 8 am Mountain Time / 10 am Eastern Time. Dr. Tom Frey is a world-class futurist. We will be talking about the future of funding.
You may watch the show live or watch the recording at a later time at:
LAST TUESDAY, Andrew Sherbo with the University of Denver, Daniels School of Business, was the guest on my Successful Funding show. We discussed entrepreneur education. The conversation renewed the concerns from last week’s show with Eric Hanson on the need for greater financial literacy – personal, business, and community. Basic concepts such as return on investment (ROI) based upon the time value of money and the need for planning pointed to challenges remaining for educators.
You may see a video recording of the show at:
DON COHEN SHOW
YESTERDAY, I was the guest on the Donald Cohen show. We talked about strategy. The act of forming a strategy serves to guide an organization in future planning and operations – to point the organization in a specific direction. Strategy development is improved by having more people participate to create multiple perspectives based on a broader range of experiences.
