Jay's Chalkboard Notes:
- USA was founded largely by entrepreneurs who started small
- Banks aren't lending lately for small businesses...
- ...therefore you need VC and VCs want huge companies
- Make sure starting a small company is something you can afford

More About Small Companies

- Entrepreneurism is more about passion than size

- Smaller, community driven, self sustaining companies are admirable
