Capital shortfall?

Bob: How much seed capital did we se-

is eating up our start-up capital. We

need to raise venture capital.

possible. Our inventory seems too

high to me. We could avoid extra

funding if we freed up more work-

ing capital for capital expenditure.

Sue: Or human capital. I need help!
