ASK CAP
?In collaboration with Knowledge Avatars, I have trained an artificial intelligence avatar (not a bot) on matters related to funding within a concept-based learning management system with backup provided by Chat GPT. This avatar is available 24/7/365 for free to answer questions on matters related to funding at:
?I asked CAP one of the questions answered by Harvest Returns (see below):
CAP responded:
“The percentage of your portfolio to invest in agriculture depends on your risk tolerance, investment goals, and overall diversification strategy. Generally, diversification is key, so consider agriculture alongside other sectors. It might be beneficial to consult with a financial advisor for personalized advice.”
CAP cannot provide investment advice.

FUNDING POINT – FUTURE OF FUNDING #4 – GREATER REALITY
I am an entrepreneur. By definition, I am an optimist.
As an entrepreneur, I can often see, hear, and smell a business opportunity clearly, although it is not yet a reality.
One of the hardest challenges for me and any entrepreneur is to distinguish potential from probability. Potential is the possibility that a business opportunity will be realized. Probability is the statistical likelihood that a business opportunity will be realized.
Realization is reality when it happens. Not before.
I sat through another meeting of entrepreneurs yesterday, where there was some confusion over potential, probability, and reality. This common situation requires better management to avoid decisions being made as though the business opportunity is real.
I am optimistic that entrepreneurs will get better at understanding reality and avoiding the myriad of problems that may occur when the business opportunity is inappropriately communicated to team members, partners, and prospective investors.
Entrepreneurs are always going to be optimistic. However, I expect that the following factors will contribute to an enhanced skill of reality recognition:
·?????? Better entrepreneur education
·?????? Better education for everyone who advises entrepreneurs
领英推荐
·?????? Better forecasting tools largely based upon the implementation of artificial intelligence
I expect the bigger change will be investors instead of entrepreneurs. As more people become investors through investment crowdfunding, I expect them to become more familiar with the start and operation of a business. This familiarity will enable them to make entrepreneurs more accountable.
SUCCESSFUL FUNDING SHOW
LAST TUESDAY, on my Successful Funding show, I hosted Eric A. Hanson, a professional entrepreneur. We discussed improving the capital industry through offering more extensive education on financial literacy.
You may see a recording of the show at:
COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION SHOW
THIS MORNING, I was the guest on the Community Revitalization show. The topic of the show was ‘integrated investment.’ This topic is a key component of the design of the community investment funds planned by RCI Community Funds. In short, every dollar invested in a community is intended to achieve the greatest impact possible toward building community wealth. Stephen Shaff and Bill Huston co-hosted the show.

DON COHEN SHOW
YESTERDAY, I was the guest on the Donald Cohen show, where we discussed business negotiations. Don and I looked at negotiations as a needed and beneficial way of developing relationships that may result in a ‘deal’ and that the best deals provided a true ‘win-win’ relationship.
