		<description>If you are interested in startup funding, 40billion.com is a good option for business owners seeking financing and resources. Small businesses and startup entrepreneurs raise money through personal connections online (a.k.a person to person, peer to peer, social lending). This elevates access to funding, increases transparency, reduces costs, and lowers risk.  

Entrepreneurs connect with their social networks (friends, family, friends of family, community members, colleagues, alumni and others) to raise up to $99,000 in capital by requesting loans and gift contributions. Funders can get product discounts and freebies, as well as the ability to track how the funding is spent.
