Why can't I get funding?
Michael Andrews, Integricy.com, Groton, N.Y.
My company is trying to get funding; however, we are still waiting – and have been for six months. We only need about $500K to start, and our projections for years five and six are over $18 million, which we are being told is way too low. Why do I keep getting rejection letters from hundreds of firms that keep saying they only fund $1 million or more?
