MoneyHunter.com is an online companion to the Money Hunt TV
program, which features many of the nation's leading
entrepreneurs including Jerry Yang, the founder of Yahoo! and
Candice Carpenter, creator and CEO of iVillage, who explain how to
make and keep money. It's a great place for entrepreneurs with
businesses of any size to get free information.
The site includes excellent sections on financial and investment
Q & As, advice and contact information for mentors and
investors, and a how-to section for anyone just starting out in the
business world.
Users can download a business plan template, search for a mentor
on any financial topic--with leading entrepreneurs sharing their
secrets. Perhaps the most useful is the "Golden Rolodex,"
a guide to other sites that track and locate investors on the Web,
a "deep" directory of contacts searchable by criteria,
and information from the Money Hunt program.
Got the TV star bug? Once you're done gathering financial
information for your business, you can even register to be a guest
on the program--that is, if you make it through the show's
online audition.
