"I know first-hand how risky and competitive the market is for startups," Knauss said. "ARI empowers entrepreneurs with the tools, insight, and realistic expectations to get the capital they need to fund their ideas."

ARI's workshops are designed to get entrepreneurs and investors on the same page, both before and after a deal. These programs walk attendees through proven best practices in crafting successful early-stage deals. Funding High-Growth Ventures details components of the deal that are valuable to both investors and start-ups. The course includes a how-to guide and detailed explanations of building, growing and exiting businesses. The Due Diligence course highlights how to validate a potential investment and define and contain risk. The Kauffman Foundation even reported there is a direct correlation between the more time investors spend on due diligence and an increased rate of return on their investments.
