Resources

The following are some excellent resources for entrepreneurs:


Financing:

Kiva, a nonprofit lending group that crowdsources loans for small businesses in an amount of up to $10,000 at 0% interest rate. I think this could be a good tool for you to raise part of that initial capital you were looking to fund your proof-of-concept phase.

Prosper, raise up to $40,000 for your small business.

Lending Club, raise up to $300,000 for your small business.
