With the uptick in the overall economy, as a busy startup mentor, I’m seeing a new surge of proprietors and startups, with the commensurate scramble for funding. There basically aren’t enough Angel investors or VCs to go around. Consequently I’m getting more questions on innovative mechanisms, such as crowd funding, and an old one rather long out of favor, the so-called “reverse merger.” A reverse merger is the acquisition of an already public corporation (usually a dormant shell) to dodge the Initial Public Offering (IPO) process and cost, to quickly get your startup on a public exchange for fund raising by way of visibility as well as selling stock.
