Lee and Andy examine various ways in which to identify the hot new markets - running the spectrum from kids to tweens to boomers, and then addressing bigger issues and pet love, along with the other growing markets.

In our special episode on finding investors for any company seeking funding, we get to the heart of what you need to do.  No matter if you are a startup, an established company seeking 2^nd or 3^rd round funding, or a company with a new division to launch, we brought top talent to the studio to answer the questions that have been keeping you up at night. 

For "been there, done that" advice, we turned to Jeff Haynie, one of the founders of E-Hatchery, and Vocalocity, and now Hakano and Southern Fried Tech.  For those who also want to be investors, or find those investors, we were fortunate enough to have the expertise of Karen Rands, of Network of Business Angel Investors and Launchfn, to help you better understand and prepare for this journey.
