Their business plan has gained some traction in presentations to venture capitalists without anyone taking the plunge. They have also gained some interest from potential customers, but have not secured commitments from anyone. Their current efforts focus on securing funding from available sources. As they approach potential investors, they need to acknowledge the possible downsides to their business plan including the invasion of competitors into their identified markets as well as a realistic valuation for the business based upon their lack of customers and lack of product prototype. Nevertheless, their focus on funding could emphasize friends and family as well as angel invstors. Gaining Financing to Execute Business Plan Budding entrepreneur, Shane Eten, developed a plan for a business that he envisioned during his graduate studies at Babson College.

...positions should they take on each one? Table Of Content: Case Summary Critical Issues Critical Analytic Tools Recommendation Answers to Case Questions Bibliography Case Summary The masterminds behind Gordon Biersch were two individuals, Dan Gordon; a qualified brewing engineer from the esteemed University of Munich, Germany, and Dean Biersch; who had a passion for food service and a vast experience in the food and beverage sector. Their unique idea of a microbrewery and fine dining restaurant stemmed from a law amendment of California in 1983 which allowed brewing and serving of beer in the same locale. They envisioned the concept of providing high quality fine dining with outstanding service in an attractive ambiance featuring exceptional German-style lagers in on-site breweries. Their target market was the fairly sophisticated, yet not so young natives of Palo Alto as well as the Stanford University faculty, staff and graduate student body. Their unique idea came to realization in July 1988 after rigorously detailed planning pertaining to atmosphere, food selection and German-style brewery. The capital was raised by the contribution of five investors, (Dean’s family friend...

...For my final project, I wanted to present Hell in a way that would cause people to enjoy it, rather than blanching in disgust from the grotesque nature of Dante's depiction of Hell. It was then my group and I decided to use something that everyone likes: food. For each Circle/Bolgia, we have a different food that reminds us of the punishment sentenced upon those sent there. For Ante-Hell, we are making Dirt Cups (Oreos, chocolate pudding, and gummy worms) to represent the "swarm of wasps and hornets that goaded them" (Canto III). For The Gate, we are making Angel Food Cake to show the irony between angels and Hell. For Circle One, we decided to use Dried Fruits, to represent those "born without the light of Christ's revelation" (Canto IV)....

...Service Learning is the cornerstone class that links academic studies at the College of Muscogee Nation (CMN) with the student and the communities. Each will strengthen the other as we learn to use cultural and historical facts and traditions to face social problems, meet human needs, promote civic responsibility and provide a basis for future citizen support. My service project is using volunteerism to improve the quality of life for the children in the Okmulgee area by applying the Muscogee traditions and culture taught to us through the curriculum of College of Muscogee Nation and our ancestors. The first goal of this service learning project is to improve the quality of life for the children of the low-income Okmulgee community residents. A historical assessment of the Okmulgee area provides a picture of drastic change and a people trying to make genuine progress in face of pressure beyond their control. This area, like the United States, has experienced drastic changes in the last fifty years including loss of manufacturing plants such as the Peanut Plant, Phillips 66 Refinery, Americana Window Glass, Ingersoll-Rand, and Ball Brothers Glass. The 2013 U.S. Census Bureau lists the population of Okmulgee as 12, 373 with 25.5% below poverty level.

...Introduction Sam Goodwin works for Angels Ltd., a successful venture capital firm for over fifteen years. Sam Goodwin and the other investors are too busy to thoroughly analyze the proposals that come in; therefore they created a screening agent position to help narrow requests down to those that fit best to their requirements. Sam Goodwin currently has three proposals he thinks may have great potential. Through this case study I will use the SWOT analysis to help Mr. Goodwin determine which proposal is best for Angels Ltd. Forever Fresh Milk SWOT Analysis The first proposal is Forever Fresh Milk a not so very new product, but focused mainly on the changes in the packaging. The strengths to this idea are that humans have been drinking milk for centuries. Milk is also one of the items most purchased in grocery stores. The advantage of Forever Fresh Milk comes from its packaging. Forever Fresh Milk comes in aseptic packaging that allows the milk to be stored for months and only until opened does the milk need to be refrigerated. Furthermore, the weaknesses to Forever Fresh Milk it has been available only three years. Its limitation on distribution and focus has mainly been in areas in the U.S. where consumers may still have difficulty getting to a supermarket on a regular basis.

The project entitled Inventory Management for Food Processing Companies is a software application maintaining the records related to food stocks, items and products management. This can be used to track the inventory of a food processing company. In addition, since theft, errors and miscalculations can occur occasionally, the system provides solution for confirming the business inventory and for correcting stock quantity. One classic method of controlling food cost is to maintain inventory levels high enough to ensure menu items can be produced in the right quantity, but low enough to not have excess product sitting in storage. Excess inventory can result in increased waste from foods that spoil, are pilfered, or simply wasted due to overproduction or obsolescence.

...Nia Francis Comp 112 “In the arms of the Angel, fly away from here” (Angel, S. McLachlan, 1997). As this song plays eerily in the background, the saddest eyes stare out from the television screen, and look right through you. “Every hour an animal is abused.” A dog is seen hopping across the room; he is in, obvious pain. “For hundreds help came too late.” According to the video against animal cruelty, 3000 animals were rescued that year (2007). They were rescued from abuse, such as starvation and various levels of torture. This is what you see, tortured animals desperate for love, desperate for the abuse to stop, desperate for “An Angel.” How can this go on? Who would do such a thing? Won’t somebody, anybody help? * This commercial originally aired in early 2007 and has been the A.S.P.C.A.’s most successful fund-raising effort, raising over $30 million. (S. Strom, 2008) * Part of a series of commercials for The A.S.P.C.A. that ran in the early mornings, due to advertising costs. * American Society for The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, A.S.P.C.A., founded in 1866, was the first humane organization for animals. * The ad uses horrific images of abused animals.

...Philippines in the past few years, the food industry manages to keep afloat and even manifest a remarkable growth. Blame it on Filipino’s love for food; people in the Philippines love to eat. Food dominates their lives and has become the basis of their social life. They eat three meals a day and two snacks in between. As a matter of fact, there are seven official meals known as breakfast, snacks, lunch, merienda, pica-pica, dinner and pulutan. And when it comes to taste, if other Asian countries prefer it spicy, Filipinos love it sweet. They always have a fondness for something sweeter than usual. Filipinos like sweet style spaghetti and not the sour taste like the Italian one. They love the sweetness of banana ketchup in the pasta recipe. Above all, pork or chicken barbeque is marinated in soy sauce, sugar, ketchup. And of course the sweeter the taste the better – sweet is the taste of love in the Philippines. It is trendy to eat foods that are creating a big buzz in the country, like hamburgers, siomai, frozen yogurt, take out noodles, scramble, sisig and chicken barbeque. Mainly, Filipinos are known as rice eaters, meals are never complete without eating rice. Despite that, Filipinos are still keen in eating Western burgers, sandwiches and pasta. But the important place of rice remains irreplaceable. These days, young brands like Burger Project, Crave Burger, Brothers Burger or its cheaper buy-one-take-one counterpart, the Angel Burgers gained much popularity. ...
