Big Returns Come in Micro-sized Packages

Twitter, the social media micro-blogging service, just received $100 million in new funding Business & Small Business Homefrom T. Rowe Price and New York’s Insight Venture Partners, according to recent reports.
It’s a staggering amount when you think of Twitter’s modest beginning as a simple sketch on a legal pad. It is, however, the ultimate dream for entrepreneurs who start on a shoestring, with nothing more than sweat equity and the hope that their ideas gain traction in the wider world.

Twitter’s founders were fortunate to start within another privately held firm. But what do you do when all you have is a good idea? What if all you need is a small amount of cash to get website hosting or to purchase raw materials to transform into fabulous products? Is it possible to finance a big dream with a small loan? The answer is yes, with a microloan.
