I loved this animation, it was very clever and clearly showed the plain options to finance your young business. We are a new small young business and have to say that is exactly how we funded ourselves on a bootstrap,and no intention of using banks or vc at the mo.

I like the sketchbook! Awesome way to describe the needs of young start up companies and how they may or may not need venture capital. I am thinking of starting my own business again and really researching it this time.
