Speaker: David Arnold with Straight Shot

David runs an accelerator, Straight Shot. Technology start up accelerator. 

Fill the gap of capital to start up.  Specifically technology companies. 

They make a small equity investment in 7-8 businesses a year and help them with organizational issues. 
There are both investors and sponsors. David raises a pool from investors to give $25000 to each business. 
Three pools of sponsors. Education. Service providers. And corporate sponsors.  
They just had their first company sale. 
Do we need more capital or more ventures? David thinks more ventures.
