Karen Rands interviews robotics entrepreneur & explores why there aren't more angel investors - Mar 05,2010

Karen Rands, the Compassionate Capitalist, will have two parts to this radio show that will be of interest to both entrepreneurs and investors. Part 1: Tom McCalley, CEO of i-Guide Robotics, will share the incredible story of using robotics to transform an industry and solve a fundamental problem facing both commercial business and municipalities. Part 2: Why aren't there more angel investors in the market to invest in early stage companies? You will be surprised to hear what our investigative team has uncovered. The government regulations designed to protect investors are being misused to limit investors' access to information and free choice on asset allocation. Fear and greed driving the practice of misinformation only works to drive the cost up for entrepreneurs raising capital and limits the amount of capital available in the marketplace. The regulations don't really protect high net worth investors, rather they inhibit free enterprise and access to capital. Tune in to learn what our investigative team has uncovered.
