Adventure Finance: How to Create a Funding Journey That Blends Profit and Purpose
by Aunnie Patton PowerThe venture capital model doesn’t work—at least not for 99% of startups and small businesses. In this 99% are a lot of companies with incredible potential: businesses headed by female founders and those from diverse racial backgrounds, organizations headquartered outside of venture capital hubs, and purpose-driven enterprises that are creating social and environmental impact alongside financial success. Counter to what the press-savvy venture capital world would have you believe, there are a lot of funding options out there for startups and small businesses. Adventure Finance is designed to help you understand some of these options, and walk you through real examples of how other founders and funders have put them to use. In simple, approachable language, the book breaks down the different types of funding options available from revenue-based financing to recoverable grants to redeemable equity to distributed ownership and more. Through a mix of storytelling and frameworks, based on a decade of research and experience in investing in early-stage companies, this book will give you the ability to determine how each of these structures can contribute to your own funding journey. The goal for this book is to shift the conversation about startup funding and help founders and funders widen the spectrum of “mainstream” investment options in order to make the venture financing world more inclusive and purpose-driven.
Adventure Fire: Adventures of Dusty Sourdough, Book 4
by Glen GuyOut of habit Dusty checked his Winchester to make sure a round was in the chamber, and then eased himself forward, keeping out of view of the front window. It was obvious to Dusty, because of the ruckus Little Bear was causing on the porch, that whoever was inside--if anybody--was forewarned, so the element of surprise was not in Dusty's favor. With these thoughts in mind, Dusty said to no one in particular, "Oh well," and he leaped to the porch, with his rifle at the ready. In an instant he was through the partially open door, ready for whatever consequence awaited him inside.

Her life is no longer as carefree and easy as it was in Scotland, but her duties are not too difficult. After escorting Henrietta to Mrs. Bassett's school for young ladies she frequently has time to stop at the bookseller's shop to discuss plans with Gavin for finding their brother. On one occasion, while on an errand that leads her through Old Boston's narrow, winding streets, to her great dismay, Alison suddenly recognizes a familiar profile and she and Gavin are once more faced with the possibility of having to run away.
